Tips & Advice
- Register your entry by Friday, December 11, because non-profit registration closes then and the non-Chamber member price goes up after that date.
- Measure your whole entry, including trucks, trailers, golf carts and ATVs, so it stays under 50 feet or you'll need to buy extra space.
- Grab a Premier Parade Placement upgrade early if you want to be near the front, since spots are limited and go first-come, first-served.
- Go all out decorating your float or vehicle, because Santa's Secret Judges award cash prizes to the top three entries.
- Chamber members pay less to register than non-members, so check your membership status before choosing a registration type.
Special Events & Promotions
- New this year: Premier Parade Placement puts entries near the front of the lineup for an extra fee. Spots are limited and first-come, first-served.
- An Additional Parade Entry, sold separately, adds up to 50 more feet for entries longer than the 50-foot limit.
