Tips & Advice

  • If your business or group wants a float in the lineup, watch for the online parade entry form, which the Chamber says is coming soon.
  • The parade runs entirely on community donations, so drop off or mail a check to the Clayton Chamber of Commerce if you want it to return.
  • Dress warmly, because you'll be standing outside on a December evening for both the lighted parade and the fireworks.
  • If you're entering a float, build your design around this year's “Stars, Stripes & Christmas Lights” theme so it fits the rest of the parade.
