What is considered to be a float?

Can I update my registration information?
Yes! You can edit your information through Eventbrite up until November 30. Any changes after November 30th must be sent to parade@caryjaycees.org.
Can food trucks or other vendors setup?
Our permit only covers the actual parade. We are not permitted to have vendors of any kind for this event. Food trucks can register as a participant and drive their truck in the parade for advertising but no sales are allowed.
Can we create a Facebook Event for our group for the parade?
Yes, you can create events on Facebook and other social media platforms for your group but it must be clear that the event is for your group only. There has been confusion in the past with multiple events that all look like the official parade event but have different times for the groups to meet.
