Parade Guidelines

Safety is a strong concern for both participants and spectators
and has been addressed resulting in the following regulations.
 
 

  1. The vehicle used for any participant must be registered with the parade chairman Robert Stringer at Stringer Funeral Home. Phone (603) 543-3146 or register  here online.
     
  2. The float height can not exceed 13'6" and the width can not exceed 9'.
     
  3. The float will be inspected during the week prior to the parade, at the float building site unless other arrangements have been made with the committee. Please CALL (603) 543-3146 for an APPOINTMENT.
     
  4. Children riding on a float (12 years or younger) MUST have adult supervision.
     
  5. Participants wishing to distribute candy to the crowd must do so by walking along the route so as not to tempt a child to come too close to a moving vehicle thus eliminating the possibility of a child being pushed or falling under any unit. Candy is NOT to be thrown from any parade vehicle.
     
  6. NO water, water balloons, water pistols, fireworks, or alcohol beverages are permitted on any float. Unruly behavior will not be tolerated.
     


    IF any of the above is evident, the Stevens Alumni officers and/or Parade Committee staff have the right to stop the float and pull it out of the parade. It will not be able to continue in the procession.
     


     
  7. Line-up Time for the parade is 8:00 a.m. Parade start time is 10:30 a.m.
     
  8. The Parade will line up on Broad Street  to Chestnut Street.
     
  9. Judging of the floats will be done on Saturday between 9 and 10 a.m. along the parade line-up on Broad Street.
     


     
  10. PUBLIC, PLEASE NOTE. Spectators are expected to show proper behavior and respect for the hours of work that classes have put into producing a float for the public's pleasure.
