What time do we show up on March 18th?
Registration begins at 11:00 a.m. While the parade does not
begin until 2:00 p.m., you need to arrive no later than noon as they
begin closing down FM 1960 shortly thereafter.
Where do we check in? Where is registration?
To get to the check-in area turn south on Champion Forest Drive
from FM 1960 (turn right if you’re coming from SH 249, turn left if
you’re coming from IH-45). After you turn on Champion Forest Drive,
you’ll see a driveway on you’re right about 50 yards from FM 1960.
Turn right into this driveway and you’ve arrived at the check-in
area.
Where do we get our float number?
At check-in, you will be provided with your float number and
directed to your designated set-up area where you will be parked
prior to the parade. Most people show up early and spend several
hours decorating their float on-site.
Will there be restroom facilities available?
There will be port-o-cans at the staging area.
Can our group enter the parade without a float? (can we walk?)
The parade is about 3 miles long and we highly suggest that if
you intend to walk you include a vehicle that participants can use
to rest if necessary.
Where can we obtain beads or candy to throw during the parade?
We no longer sell beads or candy but most area party stores
stock them (i.e. Arne’s Warehouse)
