It is vital that your entry captain checks in with your street marshal when you arrive.
Your Street Marshal is the main point of contact on parade day. If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to ask them. They will be able to get the appropiate resources to best assist you.
By checking in you ensure your entry is properly lined up for the parade and acknowledged during the TV production.
Any entry who wishes to participate in float judging must be in line prior to 8:00am.
Float Judging is optional and the sole discretion of each entry.
Judging takes place on Ruby Avenue. Participants should enter from South Street to Ruby Avenue. Then proceed to their assigned staging location.
Judging is provided by an independent group of volunteers (outside of 4th Fest of Greater Racine) to ensure impartiality.
You will receive your staging location at the captains meeting.
All entries should enter from the west via Erie Street to your assigned staging location.
*No entries will be permitted on Main Street who are not assigned to the Main Street specific staging.
Staging locations include:
The end of the parade is at Howe Street, the Golden Rondelle, on 14th street.
The parade route officially ends at the intersection of 14th Street and Grand Ave.
Entries are encouraged to keep moving until they can find a safe place along the street to pull over and not block the entries behind you.
Once safely stopped and out of the way, you may perform any tasks needed to your entry or vehicle. Please take all materials with you and keep the neighborhood clean.
There is a free shuttle service provided to take people back to the start of the parade route/staging area. Space is limited and there may be wait times between shuttles.
