illuminate your organization/businesses’ name so they are visible.
Have your lights on after lining up, as
you will not know who the judges are.
The 2022
theme is “Christmas
Characters”. We encourage the use of music, singing, get out the Christmas
lights, and even polish up the old Jeep, tractor or enchanted carriage!
Whatever you decide to do just make sure and HAVE SOME FUN!
NO SANTAS IN
ANY FORM can be used in the Parade.
Jolly Ol' Saint Nick himself will ride on the fire truck as the
finale. Also, in an effort to maintain
the safety of our children, WE DO NOT ALLOW ANYTHING TO BE THROWN FROM THE
PARADE ENTRY TO THE CROWD along the parade route. The Committee encourages you
to have WALKERS and HAND OUT ITEMS instead.
Additionally,
per City of Mt. Carmel ordinance, a cleanup crew must accompany ALL animals on
city streets.
Please call (618)
262-5116 if you have any questions. Thank
you for your participation!
