It’s time for the 93rd annual Geauga County Maple Festival. Parades are on Saturday, April 27th and Sunday, April 29th in Chardon, Ohio. How sweet it is to live in Geauga, maybe because we have so much maple! Our parade theme this year is “Living the Sweet Life” We request that all float entries be done in accordance with the theme.
Both parades will begin at 3 PM sharp. Any individual or group may complete the entry form to participate. Commercial units will be accessed a fee of $50.00 per entry per day. No charge to non-profit organizations.
There will be judging and prizes awarded for Junior & Adult floats and Junior & Senior Marching groups for the units participating in both days parades. Also for Antique/Classic Cars and Horse Divisions in both days.
You will be mailed a confirmation letter, about 10 days prior to the parade, which will include the designated area for the line-up and a map that will assist you. Line-up begins at 1:45 PM each day. We will have parade workers in golf carts available to assist you.
It is necessary that we receive your entry by April 12th to insure time to mail the line-up information back to you. Please do not hesitate to call with any questions or concerns that you may have. We look forward to having you join us!
