2022 Chico Parade of Lights ENTRY FORM

The 2022 31st annual Chico Parade of Lights theme “Unity in Community” invites you to celebrate everything related to music! Entries can highlight songs, musicians, singers, bands, musical genres, musical eras, musical instruments, musical theater or movies, dance moves, or anything else related to music! And of course, as many lights as possible!

Separate entry forms must be completed for each entry. Entry fees must be paid with submission.

Entries will be limited to the first 80 paid entries.

**Each entry from EVERY category (including vehicles, equestrian, pedestrians, etc) MUST ASSIGN a banner person to WALK in front of their entry, holding a banner or sign with their number attached (you provide the sign/banner, we provide the 8.5x11 number). This will help regulate the pace of the parade, and allow our judges to easily identify your entry. Failure to do so will disqualify your entry.**
