Parade Participant Information

Lineup will start at 10:00 a.m. and take place in the Mt. Lebanon Cemetery, located at 509 Washington Road. The only vehicles permitted in the cemetery are those taking part in the parade. Groups and organizations who are participating in the parade may be dropped off outside the cemetery entrance on Washington Road. Parking is very limited on Washington Road. The line up order is determined to best organize the parade, by the recreation department. Special requests are not accepted. You will receive a confirmation email with line up information and your line up number approximately one week before the parade.

Orange cones with numbers on them will be placed throughout the cemetery. Look for your number and line your group up at your designated cone number. There will be two separate lines for vehicles and walkers.

Candy is permitted to be distributed by handing the individual pieces of candy to the parade spectators. For safety reasons, candy is not permitted to be thrown by individuals or from parade vehicles.
