CONSTRUCTION AND SAFETY
All entries must be constructed in a manner that ensures they are safe to operate and will not present a safety concern to other participants and spectators. The Parade Committee may remove an entry for safety considerations at any time including, but not limited to, during the staging of floats on Swede Alley prior to the start of the parade.
OPERATION
Only persons with valid driver’s licenses are permitted to operate or assist in the operation of motorized vehicles. All non-motorized entries (foot traffic, bikes, wagons, sleds, etc.) MUST be under control at all times and able to keep up with the pace of the parade. Weaving, swerving and irresponsible driving are strictly prohibited.
SAFETY REGULATIONS
1. All motorized vehicles must have working brakes. Brake checks must be administered prior to the parade start.
2. NOTHING may be handed out or thrown from the floats. This includes, but is not limited to, candy, water balloons, flyers and the like.
3. Alcohol is strictly prohibited on all entries.
4. Squirt Guns are permitted in the parade. Water Cannons or Water balloons are not permitted. Please remind your float participants to be respectful of spectators.

6. Children MUST be supervised by an adult at all times.
7. If your float/entry includes animals, you must make arrangements to clean up all animal droppings as you proceed along the parade route. Droppings left on the road are a hazard for following floats/entries. Failure to do so will result in expulsion from this year’s parade and future parades.
8. At the end of the parade route, all entries must continue past the entrance to City Park to allow all participants to exit the parade route.
9. Each parade entry is responsible for designating a location for their participants to be picked up after the parade. Floats will be permitted to unload near the 7-11 parking lot (on Park Avenue). Organizations should know where family members are meeting outside of this area.
DIMENSIONS & DESCRIPTIONS
Dimensions and a description of your entry, including how it relates to the 4th of July Parade Spirit and Theme must be included with the application.
