Mandatory meeting

ALL parade entrants are required to attend a 45-60 minute meeting to pick up registration packets and discuss parade procedures on Wednesday June 19th. There are two meeting times to choose from: noon or 6:00pm. Participants are invited to attend either meeting. All entrants are required to attend, even if groups have participated in the parade previously.

The meetings will take place at the Danville Town Meeting Hall, located at 201 Front Street next to the Village Theatre. The parade packet provided at that time will include a Parade Entrant Number to be displayed on each Parade Unit before entering the Parade, staging area information, parade rules, and roadblock pass to those who are staged in areas beyond roadblocks. A question and answer session for entrants will also be held.

501(c)(3) organizations MUST be able to supply a copy of their nonprofit status certificate if requested. Organizations that cannot provide certification of nonprofit status will be charged the non-commercial registration fee.

Event safety

All parade entries must comply fully with all the requirements contained in the Danville Municipal Code to further ensure event safety.
