Tips & Advice

  • Look at the 2026 parade route and road closure map before you drive downtown, so you know which streets will be blocked.
  • If your group is joining the parade, bring the float announcement form and the signed group waiver to line-up, because both are required there.
  • Vendors and food vendors need to register by November 23, 2026, and must bring a signed group waiver with them to the park.
  • Dress warmly and bring a chair or blanket, because the Parade of Lights is an outdoor evening event in December.
