Parade Walkers
Participating in the parade can be an enjoyable experience for both small groups and individuals.   Individuals are invited to line up in front of Saint Mary of the Lakes School, where Rotary Members will assist you in joining the parade.   This year, there will be no judging, so we encourage everyone to showcase their makeup skills and have a great time!  

Float Guidelines

Medford-Vincentown Rotary Parade Float Guidelines

1. The floats line up and parade in a first come first served fashion. Floats traditionally start to line up after 12:00 noon.  A Rotarian will be on site directing traffic. 

2. There is no registration fee for non-commercial Halloween Themed Parade Floats

3. A Rotarian will come to your float in the line-up to register your float the night of the            parade. He will list your organization and what kind of float it is. This usually starts around 5:00pm

4. You can decorate once you are in the line-up. We just ask that you take all scraps with you as the Rotary is responsible for cleanup after the event.

5. All floats and vehicles must not be taller than 13 feet 6 inches.

6. No open flames are permitted.

7. No gasoline can be stored on the float.

8. All floats must have a fire extinguisher (minimum of 5lb)

9. If you use a generator, it has to be in a safe location that will not cause a fire or possibly burn someone.

10. The generator and/or extension cords must have fuses or breakers.

11. Float riders must be able to ride in a safe fashion that does not put them in harm of falling off of the float.

12. Float riders must also not be totally enclosed where the decorations can impede their ability to exit the float safely in case of an emergency.

13. Candy must not be thrown from floats. This is a state law. Candy can however be handed out by walkers that walk along with the float.

14. All drivers of floats must not have their view blocked or restricted by any means.
