Parade Viewing Safety Tips
Crowd and Child Safety
- Take a photo of your children before the parade so you have an up-to-date picture in case anyone gets separated.
- Teach your kids their name, your phone number, and point out uniformed police officers or security personnel to approach for help.
- Use the buddy system for older children or large groups to ensure everyone is always accompanied by an older person.
- Set a meeting spot as a backup location to regroup if your party gets lost in the crowd.
Viewing Area Rules
- Stay behind barriers and respect all designated viewing areas or marked safety lines.
- Follow event rules regarding where and when you can place chairs, tents, or viewing ladders.
- Keep sidewalks clear and avoid blocking intersections, driveways, or emergency exit pathways.
Interacting with Floats
- Never run into the street to grab candy or trinkets, as large vehicles and floats cannot stop quickly.
- Protect your fingers by stepping on dropped items first and retrieving them only after the float has completely passed.
- Do not touch the floats, marchers, or performers, and never throw items back at the riders.
Weather and Health
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, especially during long outdoor parades.
- Dress for the weather by wearing comfortable walking shoes, and protect yourself from the sun with hats, sunglasses, and sunblock.
- Check the forecast before leaving your home and seek immediate, safe shelter if you hear thunder or see severe weather approaching.
