Tips & Advice

  • Sign up for the event's email alerts to hear when the 2026 schedule is announced; it is currently unconfirmed.
  • If your group wants to join the procession, submit the Parade Admission form through the event website.
  • Use the website's volunteer form if you'd like to help with the celebration rather than only watch.
  • Wrap up warmly and wear comfortable shoes, as parade viewing involves being outdoors and standing around.
  • Arrive early to choose a good viewing spot, especially if you are bringing children who need a clear view.
