Grand Parade
The parade brings the entire community out in celebration of the life and achievements of our local community. The Grand Parade is an extravaganza featuring local marching bands, floats, local government, law enforcement, clowns, and much more. The parade will be July 9th and will start promptly at 10:00am. Please review the following rules and guidelines to help us have a safe, fun and enjoyable time! All entries must be decorated, except antique vehicles. The exception must be given prior to the day of the parade. No unadorned trucks and/or trailers will be allowed in the parade. Floats must be capable of maneuvering around sharp turns. Maximum float size requirements: Width no more than 15' Length (include float & towing vehicle) no more than 55' Distributing flyers, advertisements, etc. • Participates that are distributing must walk on sidewalks only. They are not permitted to walk on the road. • All equestrian entries are responsible to bring their own "waste disposal group" (pooper scoopers). • Amplified sound will not be permitted with an entry unless specific prior written approval has been given by the Steel Days Parade Committee. Prior notification allows the committee to determine correct float placement. • No water is to be thrown/sprayed from the parade route.
