FOR SAFETY REASONS: (Safety is our first priority – yours and our spectators!)

• Parade floats require a minimum of two (2) walkers who walk on each side of the float for a total of four (4) walkers.  
• All entrants are responsible for ensuring that the design and operation of their entry is safe and reliable.  
• Float entry must be fully decorated with a railing around the perimeter of the float deck. Such railings must be of solid construction with top and intermediate rails. The top rail shall be a minimum of 36”.
• All entries are prohibited from throwing candy or distributing materials from float, vehicle or trailer. Any candy or other materials must be distributed by walkers surrounding the entry.
• For safety reasons, participants shall not mount/dismount from entries unless the entry has come to a complete stop.

The following revisions have been made to our parade staging areas in order to reduce the impact of road closures off Stockton Ave:

• Band Entries: will enter from the East and line up along Crystal Ridge Drive.

• Parade entries that require no set up: meet at the information tent across the road from Fountain Tire on North Railway Street.

• Please note that the parade route, from Lineham Avenue to Northridge Drive, will close to all moving vehicles at 9:30am.
