DETAILS FOR PARADE DAY



  • Your entry (except for the high school bands) 
    should meet at the Centennial Beach Parking Lot.  That is where you will 
    step-off from. (Click the "Parade Route" tab on the left to see the full 
    route)

  • Access to the Centennial Beach Parking Lot 
    will be cut-off after 9:30 AM-your group should arrive prior to that time 
    especially if you need to stage a float or vehicle

  • The parade will start at 10:30 AM

  • NO THROWING OF CANDY AT ANY TIME

  • NO DISTRIBUTION OF ANY ITEMS AT OR ALONG THE PARADE ROUTE, INCLUDING THE STAGING AREA

  • Your entry must have a large, obvious sign 
    with your unit number displayed.  This is for the announcers.

  • At the end of the parade, please move out of 
    the way as quickly as possible.  This is for the safety of your people and the 
    marchers right behind you.

  • Remember, we are all marching to pay 
    tribute to our nation's heroes. If any part of the parade process becomes 
    challenging, remember this:  We are not suffering or sacrificing nearly as much 
    as the people for whom we are marching!
