Dignitary Entry

We pride ourselves on being one of the best parades in the nation and hold ourselves to a high standard when deciding what type of entries are allowed in the 4th Fest Parade. 

By doing so the 4th Fest strives to remain non-partisan and restricts dignitary entries to officials CURRENTLY in office only. 

We adhere to a strict no campaigning policy to remain fair and neutral. 

Dignitary Entry

Incumbent elected officials, whose constituents reside in Racine County, and his or her immediate family.

Entries of a political nature or not representing a specific candidate are not permitted.

Photo example is the current Mayor of the City of Racine with his family.

Dignitary Entry Rules

The standard rules apply to all entries with special emphasis on the following:

Campaigning along the route is strictly prohibited. Entries of a political nature, not specifically representing an elected official or the office they currently hold, are not permitted.
 
Entries should be properly decorated and have entertainment value.
 
Photo example is Alderman Mollie Jones from the 2024 parade being driven in a classic car with family members.
 

Violations will be address promptly and may result in ejection from the parade.

Final discretion on the interpretation of the rules and all entries falls to the Parade Chair.
