Parade Line-up begins at 9:30AM unless otherwise instructed
Enter the parade route at 11th Street and Center Ave.

Décor:
• Absolutely NO pyrotechnics, fire or firing of firearms is allowed.
• Entries that use live animals are responsible for cleaning up after the animals immediately.
• Generators, converters and batteries can be used to power lights and sound equipment on the parade unit.
• Make sure the power unit is big enough to provide power safely.
Float Requirements:
• Float entries may not exceed 13 feet in height (to ensure clearance for the skyways), 12 feet in width and 55 feet in length NOT including tow units.
• The framework must be at least 12 inches from the ground when the float is decorated and loaded.
(This will allow necessary ground clearance during the lineup and parade).
• Sufficient wheel and wagon tongue clearance must be incorporated so that no interference may occur with the chassis.
• All entries must be self-propelled, motor-pulled or horse drawn. This is a Forward Motion Parade. All units and entries must keep moving forward.
• The tow vehicle is strongly encouraged to be decorated as well. We strongly encourage that the trailers are skirted.
• All entries are not permitted to cause any gap between floats/entries during the parade.
Safety:
• All children under the age of 13 participating in the parade must be supervised by an adult at all times.
• In the interest of safety, throwing candy and prizes from float/vehicle is PROHIBITED.
• Each unit may have people walking beside the float HANDING out candy and prizes to the crowd.
• All entries must have an easily accessible fire extinguisher on the float or in the tow vehicle.
• A kit containing appropriate tools for minor repairs is recommended.
• Floats using gas-powered generators need to have the fumes ventilated safely. All fuels must be in appropriate containers. (Allow a hot generator to cool for 15 minutes before refilling) The sound from a gas-powered generator should be muffled as much as possible.
• Disposal of all floats’ material is the responsibility of the sponsoring organization and/or individuals.
• Please respect private property.
