Santa Parade Rules and Regulations: 

​

• Arrival & Assembly: Floats must arrive at the marshalling area (Rosser between 1st and 6th Street) between 4:00 pm and 5:30 pm for a 6:00 pm start. Enter through the "BACK DOOR" at 1st and Rosser. You will be assigned your position upon arrival, under the authority of the Parade Marshall.

• Safety & Insurance: All entries must be insured and safe for travel. Ensure no sharp objects, loose pieces, or heights exceeding 13 feet.

Floats will be judged on their creative use of lights and how well they represent the spirit of Christmas. Playing Christmas-themed music is highly encouraged (vehicle hazard lights do not count!).
