• There is no cost to participate.

• Parade Route – The parade will travel East down Central Ave. to the Tree Lighting in Marina Park.

• Lights – The parade is at night so the more lights, the better for guests to see you!

• NO Santas – Sorry, Santa will be making his appearance to light the tree.

• Entries must be family-friendly and holiday appropriate.

• Go slowly – for the enjoyment and safety of the crowd, and our walking entries, please keep a slow pace and safe distance.
