Although there is no limit on how long your entry can be, the height must be low enough to fit under the stop lights on Central Avenue. All floats with combustibles (other than the vehicle's engine) will need Fire Department approval.
Things to note:
- All floats that involve animals are required to clean up any excrement that falls onto the street.
-Arrival time is no earlier than 8:30 am. We ask that you be in place and ready by 9:30 am.
- The week of the parade, we will send out important information via email. The email will contain the line-up and other information. If there is rain, please continue to set up as planned. Depending on how long the rain lasts, the parade may be delayed.
-The staging area will be on Central Ave. just past the 4th Street Roundabout. We will have volunteers help to direct you to your spot and queue you at the start.
