All parade entries must complete an Entry application and description of entry form. Entry applications and description of entry forms must be received or postmarked
by application deadline (see
application).
Because Santa will be on a special float in the parade, all entries are restricted from having a live Santa.
All parade entries are limited to 13 feet in height.
All floats, vehicles, persons walking and animals must have a display of lights. Entries must have a minimum of 100 lights
total.
Fire proof or fire-resistant materials should be used whenever possible.
A fire extinguisher, Type ABC, must be on every float and in every car.
Vehicles participating in the parade must be in good running order and be able to idle for periods of time without overheating.
Vehicles are strongly urged to show up with a full tank of gas or have a gas tank in the vehicle for refueling.
Absolutely no candy or other enticements will be thrown from any entry. Anyone violating this rule will be removed from the parade
immediately!
Each float must be escorted down the entire parade route by two entry marshals (walkers) one on each side of the float.
Any unit with children under the age of 12 must have two adults on the unit and one adult walking on each side.
Vehicles not in the parade will not be allowed in the staging area due to limited space.
Due to safety concerns, the parade committee suggests that children under 8 years of age not walk in the parade. They may ride on floats, vehicles or bikes under adult supervision.
Holiday attire is encouraged.
Following the parade, the pictures with Santa location will be announced at the tree lighting ceremony. We invite the public to bring their cameras.
Signage for parade entries and/or parade vehicles is the
responsibility of the parade entry.
Vehicles need to turn off vehicle headlights while on parade
route in order to showcase the Holiday lights on the parade entry.
