Parade Registration

Before you register

Parade Rules

1. 1Parade staging begins at 9:00 am. Units must be in their assigned spot by 12:45 pm or they may be marked absent and payment may not be remitted. Streets close and highways become busy, so plan ahead with your group.
2. 2Only approved pre-parade units may hand out candy or flyers. Candy cannot be thrown from vehicles; walkers must distribute it throughout the full route. Pre-parade units must participate in a sponsorship role. Contact wozhawa@yahoo.com for sponsorship information.
3. 3Candy and flyers are not allowed for any units in the regular parade lineup, beginning with Unit 1.
4. 4Your float, group, or performance must be appealing to the audience. The parade director will request a description of your unit for approval.
5. 5Music may be used by musical numbers only. This helps the parade team place visual units between musical numbers such as bands.
6. 6Buses, trailers, or other transportation for equipment, staff, or participants may not follow in front of or behind a parade unit.
7. 7Units are approved based on audience appeal, community participation, and the festival budget. Parade prospects are reviewed every two weeks; please allow time for a response.
8. 8Animals must be trained and accustomed to large crowds and loud noises, and must meet all medical requirements for being around other animals.
