IMPORTANT PARADE RULES

1. NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES may be publicly consumed or dispensed to the public at any time in the staging area or the Parade Route.

 

2. NOTHING MAY BE THROWN TO THE CROWD along the Parade. All giveaways MUST BE HANDED to the spectators. Anyone violating this rule will be ejected from the Parade and may be fined per Boardman Township.

 

3. Reviewing stand performances are limited to 1 minute.

(Please Observe this limit)

 

4. Parade Participants are NOT PERMITTED to fire off pyrotechnics or devises which leave confetti, streamers or foam along the Parade Route. Re-enactment groups which discharge black powder weapons do so at their own risk.

 

5. The Parade starts at exactly 1:00 PM - Anyone not in their division at the time will be placed in the last division.

 

6. All Entries must be decorated with an Irish Theme.

 

7. Office Holders, Political Candidates and their supporters must participate in good taste. We ask that everyone remembers that this is not a political parade. It is a community Parade for families and children. You may include an appropriate sign on your entry listing the name of candidate, office or office seeking and party affiliation. Campaign slogans, political ideology or issues-based messaging are restricted on all parade entries as they do not align with the spirit and theme of the Parade. Please do not distribute written flyers or papers along the parade route.

 

8. Any non-registered entry will be placed in the last division. If a commercial entry, the $100 per vehicle entrance fee will be due at that time. No payment, no entry.

 

Any participant may be ejected from the Parade

by the Boardman Police, Head Marshal Joe Illencik or

the Parade President Casey Malone

for disregarding any of the above rules.
