If you have any questions about the parade line up,
contact Jim Fisher at 812-675-9491
Parade Line up begins at 3pm and all units should be in position by 5pm. Any riders, walkers, etc. should be dropped off by 5:30pm. Please keep in mind that there are many components to the parade and line up. It is easier to place multiple vehicles, floats, trailers, etc. over a couple of hours, versus the majority of the entries all coming in at the last minute. We appreciate your understanding and those entries that can arrive early.
- STEP 1 - CHECK IN AT THE INTERSECTION OF 14TH & M STREET WITH A MEMBER OF THE BEDFORD LIONS CLUB. They will provide you with information for the section of the line up area your entry is assigned to.
- You will receive your parade number once you are positioned in the line up area on parade day.
- PARADE JUDGING will take place DURING THE PARADE and judges will be at the 16th & I street intersection, where the radio station announces the parade.
- The parade will step off at 6pm.
BEDFORD PARADE ROUTE
Bring a chair and enjoy the parade along the route marked in red. Enjoy Food Trucks & Vendors on the J Street section of the Downtown Square. Our official festival vendors are located on J Street in between 15th & 16th Street.
- 6pm - Parade Begins (starts at the corner of M & 15th and ends at the corner of 13th and Lincoln Ave)
- Parade entrants have the choice of going NORTH on Lincoln or turning WEST onto 13th Street. Eastbound 13th Street WILL BE BLOCKED..
REMINDER - Nothing can be passed out or tossed to the spectators from parade units (whether you have walkers or not). We have CANDY CRUISERS that will head out just before the parade starts at 6pm to distribute items donated by the parade units. Please drop off your candy, items, or literature at the parade line up area to be added to the wagons for distribution. The reason behind this decision is to reduce risk and also for liability purposes. Unfortunately, disregard to the rules in previous parades has caused us to have to make adjustments and we simply want to ensure our parades can continue for years to come.
