Welcome
to parade registration. We are pleased you have
chosen to be a part of this great parade, and we
look forward to having your entry in the line-up.
(Please
note that the parade registration process requires
that Javascript be enabled in your browser.)
Before
proceeding with registration of your entry, please
review all the information on this page and share
it with everyone in your group that needs to
know. It contains important information.
Decorations:
All
parade entries must be decorated. Music
accompaniment to your entry is a plus and is
encouraged (we define just about any form of
noise as 'music'). If you are not sure what kind of parade entry you want to have, or if you are looking for some ideas, just click on the image to the right to see some examples from previous parades. You can have a vehicle entry or a walking entry (or combination), your choice.
Starting Time:
Our
parade begins promptly at 9:30 in the morning from the
corner of Contra Costa Blvd. and Woodsworth.
To achieve this timely step-off, we line up all
the entries into the proper order in the assembly
area prior to the parade start. This ensures
a smooth and prompt start-up.
Assembly Area: The parade assembly area
is on the Cleaveland/Woodsworth curve.
You can enter this area only from Gregory Lane
traveling east. Because of street closures there
will be no access from Contra Costa Blvd. Click HERE for
a map of the assembly area.
Street Closures:
Starting
at 7:30 a.m. portions of Gregory Lane, Woodsworth,
Crescent Drive, Crescent Plaza and Boyd will
be closed. Therefore, please refer to this MAP to find the route that works best for you (as
well as any other vehicles that will be joining
you). Remember, the only approach to the assembly
area is from EASTBOUND GREGORY LANE.
Performances:
Performance
routines are welcomed all along the route, but
must keep moving in a forward direction, keeping
an even space between units. As your unit passes each of the 3 announcer stands along the route, our announcers
will read the script that you have provided.
Near
the end, a parade official will collect your
number placard. When
you reach the end at Boyd and Cleaveland, all
riders in or on open vehicles will be required
to get off and walk on the sidewalk. If you are
returning to the park, be extra careful as this
area is open to general traffic. Police will
be present to assist in this area.
If
you are leaving the area entirely, you may proceed
westbound on Boyd or turn southbound onto Cleaveland.
Thank
you for participating in this year's parade.
Have a wonderful and safe fourth.

Now
