Theme: “Celebrate America!”

Candy:  DO NOT throw candy from floats or vehicles because children run into the street to get it. You MUST use walkers to hand out candy or flyers.

Safety: Please carry a fire extinguisher.

Entry Fee: $50 for commercial entries, $25 for Non-profit entries and there is no cost for military and/or veteran entries.

Line Up: Entries may start checking in at 7:00am. The check-in point will be under the Benton St. bridge on 1st Avenue, four blocks south of Center. Entries will be lined up along 1st Avenue starting at the East Lewis intersection. Volunteers will again be coordinating the lineup and parade start.

Judging: Judging will take place from 8:30-9:00am. To be considered, your entry should be assembled and running when the judges see it. Please understand that it takes time to judge all the entries. 

Parade Start: The parade will start moving at 9:30am. Entries will go in the order that they arrived in the lineup with the exception of sponsors and dignitaries.

Parade Route: Please refer to the map. Note that your entry will need to go through the Center Street underpass, which has a 12’ 2" clearance. There is also a tight left turn in front of the island on the west side of the underpass. Please make sure your entry can manage this and other turns along the route.

Parade End: The parade will end at Concentrix, 805 N Main St. Please do not unload floats in the street. Parking lots and N. Harrison will be available for unloading. Please be courteous as all floats need to complete the parade route. Please clean up. Do not leave behind any garbage or float decorations. Thank you!
