REGISTER A FLOAT 

** For school floats, please scroll down to the next section to register your school float!

The main thrust of our Parade has always been to provide an exciting and fun-filled event for the children of our community.

We want to continuously improve and expand community participation in our parade so as to include groups and organizations that have not been previously involved.

PLEASE NOTE: Each entrant’s attire, float & music must relate to the Christmas Season. Absolutely no throwing or handing out  of anything from your float into the crowd.  You are more than welcome to have someone from within the viewing area handing out your items.  Participants that are in the parade route must stay within the parade route and not go to the crowd.  Please no vehicles with inducements (call me for a free?) This is for the children and families and not a means to market your business. We reserve the right not to accept any entry at our sole discretion. Registration will be closed when we reach 60 floats, otherwise deadline for float entries is November 1st.

Judging Criteria

    • Best Parade Entry: 25%
    • Proper Signage: 25%
    • Colourful Costumes: 25%
    • Crowd Appreciation: 25%
