PARADE ENTRY GUIDELINES:

In keeping with the veteran theme of this national observance, our philosophy is to give entrant preference to:

Veteran-related organizations and veteran participants of all of America's wars, including auxiliaries and sons and daughters of these organizations
Patriotic organizations such as those with congressional, national, state, or local charters
All military units
Public and private school marching bands and their Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps
Parade-specific entries, such as clowns, stilt-walkers, etc., with a veteran affiliation
As space permits, we welcome application entries from public agencies and civic, cultural, and non-profit organizations that request entry for the purpose of honoring our nation’s veterans.

PARADE RULES:

Participants are asked to strictly adhere to parade day instructions. Schedule times provided to participating groups for set up are mandatory to ensure that the parade will start on time.
Participants must go to their assigned starting lineup location. No group will be allowed to start from any other space than the one assigned to them.
Parade participants are not permitted to throw any objects into the crowd. This includes, but is not limited to: candy, toys, beads, etc. Any participant doing so may be excused from the parade.
Participants are not permitted to stop the parade to perform. This includes special band performances, ROTC units, and dance troupes.
For-profit or commercial interests are not permitted in the parade without prior written approval of the City of Jacksonville Division of Sports & Entertainment.
