Here are some helpful tips:

• Use (lots of) lights

• Consider the overall appearance of your float

• Don’t forget the smaller details too

• Try to include something original or creative that other floats don’t have

• Be mindful of the people participating on the float

• Be engaging with the crowd (don’t forget to wave)

• Consider how you appeal to the crowd

• Use music to tie your theme together

• Decorate the vehicle pulling the float

We are looking forward to another great day and parade this year. The night time parade starts promptly at 5 pm and travels 2 kilometres, from one end of Fenelon Falls to the other. Please see maps for details.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you will be entering the parade this year.  It is a first come first serve basis.

This year the parade theme is ‘Storybook Christmas’. Don’t forget to incorporate lights, lights and more lights. Your float decor is only limited to your imagination.

1. $500

2. $300

3. $200

People’s Choice $100

Prior to the parade we will contact you with your registration number.

YOU WILL STILL NEED TO REGISTER ON THE DAY OF THE PARADE.

If you are putting your float in position early and then dropping off people before the parade starts they should be in position by 4:15 p.m. If the lineup area is busy they may have to walk in from Ellice Street or Murray Street at West Street. (During lineup, West Street will be one way so you should enter from Elliot Street). If you have children on your float whose parents will be picking them up after the Parade they should be notified floats will turn left on Prince’s St and left on John, so you should probably have them stay on the floats until they get back to the area of the Arena to arrange pick up. If walkers are being picked up at Ball park, vehicles must be at the park by 4:45 p.m.

Have fun!
