Tips & Advice
- Send in the participation form if your family, youth group, civic group or business wants to march, since taking part in the parade is free.
- Find your spot along Route 1, between Wells Plaza and Wells Junior High School, before step-off, since the parade heads north along that stretch.
- Dress warmly for standing outside on a December afternoon, because the parade runs for about an hour once it steps off.
