RULES OF PARTICIPATION
- NO candy is allowed to be thrown out while on the parade route. Candy may be handed out at the curb. If candy is thrown during the parade, those in violation of this rule will not be asked to participate in next year’s parade.
(Note: This rule is important because children run into the middle of the street to pick up candy, which is dangerous)
- NO ball throwing, use of water guns, super soakers or any water devices are allowed.
- Each parade unit must stay approximately 50 feet away from the unit ahead and in front of them. Please assign one member of your unit to help maintain this requirement.
- Each parade unit is required to stay on the parade route for its entirety. Exiting off the parade route early will result in not being allowed in the following year’s parade.
- Pet Waste will be cleaned up promptly throughout the entire day.
- Your group will bring entertainment value to the parade.
- Photos taken of the parade may be used for non-profit promotional purposes.
- Parade Marshals are present throughout the entire parade route. The Parade Marshals are instructed to enforce these rules and the safety of the parade participants and parade goers.
