To keep the parade organized and safe, there are a few guidelines that each entry is required to follow:

1.   All entries must be in by June 9, 2023 and be at Hayden Village for Line-up by your designated time on June 17, 2023.

Minimum of two car lengths between entrants at all times for the safety of all participants

2.   No burning of rubber tires on motorcycles, three-wheelers, ATVs etc. No donuts, revving up in the middle of the street, etc. Pieces of hot rubber and small children do not mix well!

3.   All animal entries (horse, mini ponies, etc.) Must have cleaner/pooper scoopers or bags with the animals. If animal entries do not have means to keep the street clean, they will not be allowed to participate.

4.   No literature may be passed out. This is a parade, not a political, religious or moral platform and it is not the responsibility of the committee or the city to clean up the paper debris following the parade.

5.   Entries cannot stop and perform along the route. 

Note: All performing must be done while in motion. For example, bands playing while they march. Be mindful: Historically, there is a train that may come through during the parade which will cause movement to stop or emergency situations.

6.   During line-up, please respect the residents and do not run and play in the yards of the homes near your lineup area.

Note: All candy must be individually wrapped/pre-packaged, nothing homemade is permitted.

A written copy of all rules will be mailed or e-mailed to participants in advance of parade along with their confirmation and lineup number. If the rules are broken – your entry is subject to removal from the parade and possibly banned from future events, depending on the severity.
