Entries

Draper City encourages youth groups, local businesses, bands, churches and all other groups to enter their float in this year's parade. 





  • Please make an effort to make your entries safe for all participants and for all attending the parade. Volunteers will monitor all entries for safety.


  • Each entry is required to keep pace for the entire parade route. Performances should be of such a nature that they can be done while moving at parade pace.


  • The number and type of advertisements passed out along the parade route will also be limited. If you wish to hand these out please indicate this on your application.


  • All motorized vehicle operators must be able to show a valid drivers license and proof of insurance.


  • Candy and/or any other item should be handed out by walkers along side your entry rather than thrown. One volunteer must accompany each person who passes out candy to ensure the safety of the children. They will be required to check in with your entry on the day of the parade.


  • Each entry is responsible for having someone cleanup after themselves. This applies especially to horse entries. Entrants are required to cleanup after their horses!
