You are responsible for the safety and liability of your float and the participants.

All floats and towing vehicles must carry valid insurance.

All floats, trucks, trailers, etc. MUST be in the park in their respective parking lots by 12 noon. This is mandatory!

Your float will be assigned a Rogers TV number upon checking in at your designated area.

All floats must have a minimum of four walkers (spotters), two on each side of your float. We recommend that your spotters wear high visibility vests.

For safety reasons, nothing may be thrown from the floats or vehicles. Only walkers may hand out candy or items to the spectators. Loose candy on the road temps children to run in front of floats.

There will be an all-inclusive and barrier free SENSORY/QUIET ZONE in place from Innisfil Park exit to the Fire Station on Innisfil Beach Road, so everyone can be a part of the Christmas Parade. EVERYONE PLEASE refrain from playing loud music, sounding any sirens, bells, noisemakers, or megaphones until you reach the Fire Hall. At that time resume normal activity.

PLEASE!!! Encourage all of your groups and participants, especially the Dance groups, to CARPOOL!!! Remind parent/guardians what parking lot/group that their child is with.

There is a DROPOFF PARKING LOT, Parking Lot A, just inside the park gate, on the left.

PLEASE drop off your passengers and leave. We cannot stress enough the importance of informing parents/guardians of which parking lot your float will be in.

If you are parking and participating, proceed to Parking Lot B. Parking will be FREE until 5 PM that day.

All parade floats and bands will begin to line up at 12:30 pm under the direction of the Parade Marshall. Late arrivals will be accommodated at the discretion of the Parade Marshall.

PARADE BEGINS AT 1:30 PM

Parade begins at 1:30 pm from the park proceeding west on Innisfil Beach Road to Jans Blvd.

You can disburse from there. The parade will not proceed east on Jans Blvd.

All floats/vehicles MUST be decorated in a Christmas theme. It does not necessarily have to be our chosen theme. Christmas is about kids! This year’s theme is: Christmas around the World!

Rogers TV will be stationed at Do or Dye Hair Salon, 958 Innisfil Beach Road. Your Rogers TV entry number must be clearly visible in the windshield of your vehicle on the passenger side.

Inappropriate language or behaviour will not be tolerated.

Portable washrooms will be available at Innisfil Beach Park.

Parades take a long time, we highly recommend that your participants wear warm clothes,
