PARADE RULES:
Lake Forest Day is the largest annual celebration in the City and is attended
by thousands of resident and visitors from surrounding communities. We welcome your participation. Why not contact a neighbor
and enter a block or neighborhood float; or enter yourself and/or your family in costume? Enter a commercial float representing
your business, church, school, or enter on behalf of your civic organization.
Awards will be given in the following categories: Children, Church/Schools, Civic/Fraternal, Commercial, Youth, Neighborhood/Individual
along with Most Original, and the prized Commander's Trophy.
Entries in the parade must keep moving at the interval started so
there will be no gaps. There will be no stopping allowed unless the entry directly ahead of you has done so. If a gap occurs
in front of you please move forward to close the gap. All parade participants must decorate their float, car, etc. in the
theme of the parade or in a patriotic theme.
Please do
not throw any article such as candy, favors or any other article from your float, car, etc. due to the danger that a child
may run into the street and be injured. If you wish to pass to pass things out have some one walk along the parade route on
each side of the float or group to hand out the articles. Alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited.
Your cooperation makes
this a special community event.
