All participants shall arrive at the parade start location (parking lot of North Grenville District High School) between 3:30 pm and 4:00 pm and check-in with the parade organizer. Key information and a route map will be circulated to registered participants by email. The route is approximately 4km in length. Registrants may arrive earlier to decorate their float on site.
All participating organizations/businesses are required to provide proof of liability insurance for their organization and vehicles and all vehicles require licensed drivers. Participants are asked not to distribute flyers, business cards or other paraphernalia to avoid unnecessary litter. Be creative in communicating through your float entry. Do not throw candy/treats from floats, however it is acceptable for walking participants to approach spectators to distribute treats (or collect donations for food banks, toy drives, etc.). Participants should not do anything which would invite spectators to enter the street. Please do not include animals in your parade entry without advance approval.
We are also seeking volunteers to assist with supervising barricades at intersections along the parade route. Parade barricade volunteer form:https://forms.gle/piipX7cAPF8hZhSJ7
