All entries MUST enhance their entries with lights…this is a lighted parade.
NO LIVE SANTAS. The "real" Santa will ride in at the anchor of the parade.
Music is encouraged. It will add to the viewer's experience.
*NEW this year, max # of 2 vehicles per organization (NOT including walkers).
Floats and trailer entries will need to meet at Linda Anderson Parking Lot at 3:00 pm for staging and will then be escorted downtown to line up along the streets. (Floats and trailers ONLY, no riders. All other non-float/non-trailer entries need to be downtown no later than 5:15 pm )
For safety reasons, for those identified to stage at Linda Anderson Park, must check in at the park. If you do not meet or miss the police escort, your entry will be moved to the end of the line-up.
NO throwing candy from floats. We do, however, encourage walking along with the floats and handing it directly to parade watchers!
Float riders should be loaded onto floats by 5:30 pm. Please remind your participants that they should allow time to park and walk to their assigned float.
Participants should unload on the sidewalk side of the float in the designated area. DO NOT have parents and children meeting in the street.
Once participants are unloaded, drivers should relocate. Do not disassemble floats in the unloading area.
HAVE FUN. This event is a great event to kick off the Christmas season for our community. Let's help everyone get into the Christmas spirit!
Please complete the online registration by Monday, November 18, 2024 to ensure space is available in the parade lineup.
