Tips & Advice

  • Choose a viewing spot near Midway Rec Center’s viewing stand to hear the emcee describe participating entries as they pass.
  • Watch for float walkers, who may hand candy to spectators; candy is not thrown from parade entries.
  • Arrive with time to settle along the route before the procession reaches you, since the pages give no spectator arrival guidance.
  • Bring warm layers for an evening parade, and be prepared to stand while the decorated entries pass.
  • Take photos as illuminated floats and vehicles approach, while keeping clear of the moving procession.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will there be candy?

Yes. Float walkers hand out candy to people along the route. Throwing candy or anything else from entries is not allowed.

Where can I hear the entries described?

Go to the Viewing Stand at Midway Rec Center. The emcee describes each entry there as it passes.

How do I enter the parade?

Fill out the city's parade application before the entry deadline on Monday, December 1. Walking groups, cars and trucks, large vehicles and car clubs can all enter.

What are the rules for floats?

Every float and vehicle needs at least 100 Christmas lights, and headlights must be off. Floats should use fire-resistant materials, and anyone running a gas generator must carry an ABC fire extinguisher. Each float needs at least one walker, plus one adult for every 10 children on board.

Can someone on our float dress as Santa?

No. Santa costumes aren't allowed for entries, because Santa rides on the float of the Santa's Choice winner.
