Parade Rules:

• Do not throw candy! Candy must be handed out by walkers! Tossing candy encourages small children to run into the street, creating a safety hazard.
• All drivers must be 21 & older
• Maintain your interval and the pace of the parade. If your group has walkers who are unable to hold the pace of the parade, your group must provide a vehicle on which they may ride.
• Under no circumstances should participants in one entry interfere with participants in other entries.
• All riders on floats must have something secure to hold on to. Do not overload floats or vehicles.
• Jumping on and off floats is absolutely prohibited.
• The float sponsor or their adult designee is required to be with students during the parade.
• Each group is responsible for helping clean up the staging area and Normandy High School parking lot.
