Important Information about Parade Participation:

The Millersville Community Parade is now one of the largest and most dynamic parades in the Susquehanna Valley. Last year's march included nearly 150 entries and thousands of people. Everyone is invited to participate in the Millersville Community Parade. Participation is free for most entries and competition is optional.

Because the Millersville Community Parade is growing bigger with each passing year, submitting an entry form by the stated deadline is important. The parade coincides with Millersville University's Homecoming Weekend, so time constraints must be followed. The number of entries might be limited at the discretion of the parade commitee chairperson, particulary for those seeking to register after the entry deadline.

Any business that enters one or more vehicles in the parade will be required to pay $100 per vehicle. However, businesses which lend their vehicles for use in the parade to pull s or otherwise support non-profit parade entries will not be assessed this fee. Political office candidates are also assessed a $100 per vehicle entry fee.

The Millersville Community Parade does enter into contracts with some paid entertainment such as drum and bugle corps, mummers, marching bands, etc. Anyone interested in entering the parade in this capacity should contact the parade committee to discuss. Any group, musical or otherwise, which requires payment for their participation in the parade, is not eligible to compete.

Everyone who participates in the Millersville Community Parade must abide by these rules.
