Tips & Advice

  • Submit the completed and signed registration form by the stated deadline so your entry can be included in the parade.
  • Choose a parade leader to serve as the group’s contact before and during the event.
  • Give your entry a holiday theme and add a sign identifying your group or organization, as requested in the participant rules.
  • Have walkers and riders dropped off, since only parade vehicles can proceed beyond the drop-off point.
  • If handing out candy or other items, have someone walking toss them to spectators; the packet advises caution from moving vehicles.
