RulesTHIS IS A PG-13 RATED EVENT.  THINK FUN AND FUNNY

• Float dimensions:  No larger than 18 inches long, 18 inches wide or 18 inches high. 

• No means of propulsion needed.  The floats will move down the parade route on a moving track.  They move from right to left, so the right, starboard, “passenger” side of the float is the back and the “driver’s” side faces the audience.
• Lights and animated elements may be added to the float as long as it is done safely and totally within the dimensions. Please place all switches on the back of your entry and include a tech note for parade staff.
• Floats will be carried by parade staff to the conveyor and then to the silent auction or pick-up area.  Make it easy for them by making the floats carry-friendly. Consider weight, loose parts, and wiggly things. Handles are nice.
• Sign your float with your name, its title and the year.
• No open flames, live animals, uncontained liquids, politics, blatant advertising or hazardous materials, please.
