Strawberry festival parade

·      The Stilwell Strawberry Festival Parade check-in starts at 8:30 A.M. You will need to turn on Clevenger to check-in, the road between the Hiway 59 by-pass and Taco Bell, in order to prevent cutting off the entrance to Taco Bell.

·      The Stilwell Strawberry Festival Parade starts promptly at 10:00 A.M.

·      We implemented an exclusively online application for the parade entry process. No mailing in or dropping of applications. Payment is required via debit card, credit card, or PayPal using the online application. Applications were open from April 1 until April 30, and there will be no late entries.

·      All entries must check-in on the morning of the parade.

·      Lineup assignment will be issued at check-in on Saturday, May 11. They will not be given out earlier.

·      Lineup is done on a “first applied, first lineup” basis. This means the earlier you apply, the further up front you will be in the parade lineup. We can not allow requests of being “moved up” in the parade lineup.

·      Our spaces for entries are measured at 30 feet in length. So please keep in mind the length of your vehicle/trailer you are entering in.

• Examples: 1 truck would be 1 space, also known as the Car/Pickup Entry Type. 1 truck pulling a trailer would need 2 spaces, this is the Float Entry Type.

·      In order to minimize the parade length, please keep within 20 foot of the entry in front of you while going through the parade.

·      In the interest of public safety, NO SEMI TRUCKS CAN BE ENTERED INTO THE PARADE LINEUP.

·      In the interest of public safety, THE THROWING OF ANY OBJECTS FROM VEHICLES DURING THE PARADE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED BY CITY ORDINANCE. WALKERS MAY SAFELY DISTRIBUTE ITEMS DIRECTLY INTO THE CROW ALONG THE EDGE OF THE PARADE ROUTE.

·      Be aware of the designated QUIET ZONE (no sirens or horns) between Elm and Cedar streets along 2^nd Street.
