Every year we strive to have the best parade that Southern Nevada has ever seen. We need your support to make that happen.
Please follow the rules below.

• Entries must not be wider than 20 feet or taller than 17 feet.
• Due to the narrowing of Water Street in some parts, we must limit the number of vehicles allowed in entries to 15. Cars must go down single file for one block in front of Lifeguard Arena.
• NO Water Guns, Water Balloons or Spraying of Water or Silly String are allowed from entries.
• Absolutely NO objects may be thrown from parade entries.
• Climbing on and off the float is NOT permitted. No participants are permitted to ride on the front bumpers of parade entries. Those handing out objects to the crowds must NOT approach the floats when turning.
• All entries must move in a forward line of march/direction with no stopping to perform at any time during the parade. If you are handing out anything, or intermingling with the spectators in any way, please allow the parade to keep moving past you and you can catch up with your group.
• In order for the announcers/commentators to identify your entry, your entry number must be displayed on the right hand side of your entry (preferrably at the front).
• In order to lend additional color and flavor to the occasion, and to increase spectator appeal, we request all autos and trucks be decorated from the window down (except special industrial equipment, antique autos and special interest autos). You may display any number of suitable identifying cards relating to your business or organization.
• No alcohol will be allowed in the parade staging area or is to be consumed or carried by the parade participants during the parade.
• All animal entries are responsible for cleaning up after their animals.
• All participants must be dressed in Family Acceptable dress code.

Due to noncompliance with rules, issues with payments and complaints from spectators, we are no longer able to accept entries from political candidates.

We reserve the right to deny an entry if the terms and conditions are not adhered to.

Thank you again for your parade entry. We look forward to seeing you at this year's event. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail or phone.
