Parade Rules & Guidelines

​1.    No parade unit will be allowed in the parade line-up without a properly completed entry form.

2.    No sirens or other forms of horns that emit loud piercing sounds will be allowed during the parade.

3.    All parade units must be decorated in a Patriotic theme.   See 3A and 3B for additional information.

3A.  If a generator is being used to provide power to run the entry, 16/3 AWG (min size) power cords are required, and please be sure to have extra fuel in an approved container on your float or towing vehicle. An approved ABC fire extinguisher will be required. A Fire Marshall will inspect all entries using a generator during the lineup. Those not complying with this safety precaution will not be allowed in the parade. For safety reasons, do not attempt to refuel your float while it is in motion or during the parade itself - refueling is permissible only before the start of the parade.

3B.  An approved ABC fire extinguisher is required for any float or other entry using gasoline or other flammable substance.

5.    Anything deemed to be a potentially dangerous situation by the fire inspector, you will be required to correct.

6.    Entries are NOT permitted to throw candy, literature, or any other items from a moving parade unit.  If you do have something to pass out it must be handed out while walking.  This is for the safety of spectators as well as participants and will be strictly enforced. WALKERS MUST BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH PARADE PACE OR THEY NEED TO RIDE.

7.    Do not leave your parade entry in the lineup area until you are properly placed by a Lions Club member.

8.    Please do not fall behind. Maintain the same spacing, no more than 40’ gap, behind the unit in front of you as you had when you were released from the parade formation site.

9.    Walkers must be with a vehicle or float and be able to keep up with parade flow.  If not they need to get on their float or vehicle.
