Tips & Advice

  • Scan the QR code on the parade flyer before heading out, since the route may change because of ongoing NCDOT construction.
  • Register ahead if your group wants to take part, using the separate sign-ups for walkers and bands, vehicles and motorcycles, horses, or floats.
  • Bring family and friends and claim a spot somewhere along the route between Rockfish Elementary School and Hope Mills Middle School.
  • Dress warmly and bring a blanket or chair, since this is an evening parade in December and you'll be watching from the roadside.
