If you are participating in the parade this year and need to unload or drop off individuals from your float, we will be utilizing Rubidoux Park for this purpose to prevent the annual traffic congestion at the end of the parade. Please refer to the following map for assistance. This will be reviewed in person during the safety briefing prior to the parade. If you are departing and do not need to drop anyone off, you can turn right at School St. onto HWY 17 and exit the area safely.

Floats will not be higher than 17 feet! Read below:

For float height information, Sparklight has provided the following details regarding the wires crossing Route 66 on the parade route. Please ensure that your floats remain below the wires to avoid potential liability for damaging a line due to non-compliance with the posted float design height requirements:

Message from Sparklight verbatim:

Hello sir, this is Chris with Sparklight. We have measured all of our cables along the parade route and if you stay under 17 feet you will be good and miss all of our lines. We are about a foot higher than that but I would say 17 ft to be safe.
