Riverdale Old Glory Days Parade

July 4, 2012

It is time to start planning for the Old Glory Days Celebration of Riverdale City! We invite you to participate by entering our Old Glory Days Parade, to be held on Wednesday, July 4th. This is a great opportunity to be involved in a fun community event and gain exposure for your organization or business. There is no entry fee and we welcome all types of entries from schools, businesses, and other organizations. All entries are eligible for judging and prizes will be awarded for the Grand Prize winner as well as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.

Important Information:
All water activities are banned from floats. Water will not be permitted to be thrown or shot from any float (or used in any manner that involves spectators). Failure to comply with this regulation will result in permanent refusal of future participation in the Old Glory Days Parade.

Throwing candy from the floats is a fun tradition but also a very serious safety concern. Guidelines include: All candy needs to be tossed at least 15 feet from the vehicle. You must provide adult supervision for any float throwing candy.

At the end of the parade, please pull past the fire station to unload your passengers, (even make use of the neighborhood streets for this).

We appreciate your cooperation following these guidelines. The safety of our children is a priority and by following these guidelines we hope to provide a great parade experience for everyone attending.

Parade day schedule will be as follows:
7:00 - Police begin blocking off parade route (parade participants may enter)
7:30 - Check in begins
8:30 - Judging of parade entries

The check in area will be located on the Northeast corner of 700 West and 4400 South in Riverdale and will begin at 7:30 am. The parade route will begin at this corner, continue west on 4400 south, around the corner at Parker Drive, and end just past the fire station.
