Many of you have had similar questions about the upcoming parade, so let me provide you with some clarity:

1.Why is there a parade entry fee?

I'd like to clarify a few points regarding the parade entry fee. Firstly, the fee is a voluntary donation and is not mandatory. Secondly, we are introducing a new element this year to inspire creativity—a parade float contest with a cash prize for the winner! Any funds collected beyond the cash prize will be directly reinvested into the Festival 2025 budget, enhancing our offerings and enabling us to deliver even more spectacular attractions.

2.Where will the parade line-up?

Parade floats will assemble in the high school parking lot where you can submit your registration form and entry fee. From there, participants will move to the Clarion Aquatic Center to have their photo taken for the contest. This will ensure that when the parade begins, the MC has the correct list of participants and can announce each entrant in the proper order at the park—providing great exposure for your business!

3.What time is the parade?

The parade kicks off at 10:30 AM, but you can start lining up at 9:30 AM on a first-come, first-serve basis.

4.Is the route the same?

Yes, the parade route will remain unchanged.

5.How do I participate in the parade?

Participating is straightforward! Simply visit click the link above, download the parade entry form, and bring it to the high school parking lot on the day of the event. Just show up on the day of the parade—it's super easy!

I hope this clears up any confusion and helps you prepare for a fantastic time at the parade!
