At The Stars and Stripes Parade, the safety and enjoyment of all attendees are our top priorities. To ensure a smooth and memorable experience for everyone, we have established the following rules and guidelines regarding parking, floats, security, and other important aspects of the event. We kindly ask all participants and attendees to adhere to these guidelines:
Float Safety: All floats must meet safety standards and be securely constructed. Ensure that all decorations are firmly attached and will not pose a hazard to participants or spectators.
Participant Safety: Participants must follow all instructions provided by parade marshals and organizers. Stay within designated areas and maintain a safe distance from moving vehicles or parade floats.
No Unauthorized Entries: Only registered floats are allowed within the parade route. Unauthorized entries will not be permitted.
To help you create a display, please follow these float decoration guidelines:
Ensure that all decorations are securely fastened and will not pose a hazard to participants or spectators.
Use lightweight materials and avoid sharp edges or protrusions that could potentially cause injury.
Incorporate elements that showcase the spirit of patriotism, community, and celebration.
Use colors, symbols, and imagery that represent the theme of the parade and resonate with the audience.
Let your imagination run wild! Think outside the box and explore unique ideas to make your float stand out.
Consider incorporating props, banners, signs, and costumes that enhance the visual impact.
Include signs or banners that clearly identify your group, organization, or message.
Keep any text or messaging concise, legible, and easy to understand from a distance.
Consider incorporating moving or animated elements on your float to captivate the audience.
This could include rotating parts, waving flags, or creative use of lighting effects.
Ensure that there are designated individuals to assist with float movement and safety during the parade.
They should be positioned strategically to guide the float and ensure the safety of participants and spectators.
Take responsibility for the cleanup of your float and surrounding area after the parade.
Dispose of any waste or debris appropriately and leave the parade route clean and tidy.
Remember, the primary goal is to create a joyful and captivating experience for parade attendees.
Let your creativity shine!
