Parade Registration is now closed. It was open from Oct. 10 - Nov. 14, 2025. Thank you for your interest!
Also, attendees to the Holiday Parade LOVE CANDY! We love for you to hand that out, but ANY *throwing* of candy will result in immediate removal from the Parade and a permanent future ban. No refunds will be given.
Throwing candy results in a huge safety hazard, including kids running into the street. We take it very seriously, as safety is our first and primary concern.
