Approved entries ("Organization") must agree and follow Festival procedures and policies, which will be provided to applicants no later than August 1.
Once confirmed, Organization is responsible for the timely arrival of all its participants and setup of their equipment and displays.
The route and staging locations will be the same as last year, with entry number pickup at the Neill Public Library, starting at 7:30 a.m. Lineup begins at 10:30 a.m. with the Parade commencing at the usual 11:00 a.m.
All Parade participants are prohibited from smoking; consuming alcohol, drugs, or CBD/THC products; using unprofessional or inappropriate language on signage or in verbal communication; wearing clothing unsuitable for the family-friendly and community-unifying nature of the Event; or promoting materials, symbols, or conduct intended to provoke significant conflict, division, or offense. Contextually appropriate expressions, such as Organization branding, educational displays, or nonprofit advocacy consistent with the Event’s mission, which the Organization may submit to the Festival for review and approval in advance, are permitted.
Festival staff may remove any participant or Organization or request corrective action for conduct deemed unsafe, unprofessional, or in violation of this Section.
