Tips & Advice
- Stay until the end of the procession, because the parade has just one Santa and he appears as the very last entry.
- Leave the alcohol at home, because drinking is strictly prohibited along the parade route, and only City-approved vendors may sell food or drinks there.
- Entrants need to be in the staging area two hours before the parade steps off, and non-parade vehicles aren't allowed in staging, so plan your drop-off.
- If children under five are part of your entry, say so on your application and bring plenty of water, because the parade route is two miles long.
- Decorate every vehicle in your entry, including trucks towing floats, because officials check decorations before the start and any entry showing Santa gets pulled from the lineup.
Special Events & Promotions
- This year's theme is "Christmas Rewind: Holiday Mixtape."
- Non-profit organizations get a discounted entry rate if they provide a tax exemption certificate.
