PARTICIPATE IN THE PARADE
THE MISSION OF The Indian Land Christmas Parade IS TO PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT THROUGH AN ENJOYABLE, FAMILY-FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE THAT KICKS OFF THE HOLIDAY SEASON.
The Indian Land Christmas Parade, a privately-sponsored event, invites participants based exclusively on their ability to provide appropriate family entertainment suitable for this cherished national holiday. While the parade respects and embraces the diversity of causes in our community, state and nation, it cannot be used to promote special interests, no matter how worthy.
The Indian Land Christmas Parade organizers will not consider incomplete applications and reserve the right to make all determinations related to participation in the Parade on the basis of entertainment value. By submitting an application, prospective participants accept this participation policy.
