To register competitive class entries contact Chris & Janine Christensen (519-666-3574). Pre-registration is important to help us run our parade smoothly. Make your entries one week before the parade or as soon as possible.  Following receipt of entry, you will be advised of your parade assembly location.  The Parade Committee reserves the right to make the final decision as to which class you or your groups may compete in.  In judging of competitive classes, judges’ decisions are final.

 

The Parade Committee requests that all people participating in the Parade be assembled at the Parade Location (see map above) at least 1 hour before the start of the Parade. Otherwise, they may not be judged.

 

All Parade Participants:  Please enter Parade lineup from Heritage Drive, at Hyde Park Road by the park.

 

Bands and Majorettes in attendance.

 

New Exit Details:  We are requesting that all parade floats, clubs and organizations etc., exit the

fairgrounds by way of the King St. exit. This request will help with the main gate traffic flow and is

also a safety measure.
