PARADE ROUTE INFORMATION
●
●
●
●
Please see PDF on our website for map of parade route and staging area.
Please DO NOT PLAY instruments while passing through the
Washington Street Tunnel. You will be disqualified if you do and may
be banned from future parades.
After the parade please stay in formation with your group until you reach
your transportation. This will keep congestion and confusion to a
minimum.
Be considerate of other entrants, DO NOT try and go up Washington
Street.
INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANTS
●
There could be very limited parking on the street and in pay-parking lots
around the staging area. Please give yourself plenty of time to find a place
and get to your designated line-up area.
HORSE ENTRIES
●
●
All entries that involve large animals/horses must bring appropriate
equipment to pick up after their animals on the parade route (i.e. wheelbarrow, pitchfork). We also recommend each horse entry have an
extra person to walk alongside the animal for safety of the rider and crowd.
Horse entries will line up with Group “C” on North River Drive for safety
reasons.
