THINGS TO REMEMBER

The check-in area will close promptly at 9:30 AM. If you have not checked in by then, your group may be removed from the announcers' scripts.

Each staging area is divided into parade entry locations marked with chalk. Each parade entry has its own staging location marked by its entry number. Each staging location will have a chalk mark at the beginning and end of your space, and your entry lineup number will be marked in the center of your location.

If your entry includes a vehicle, park it on the forward-most line of your location, close to the curb. NO STAGING IS ALLOWED on your staging street until the roads are closed and the barricades are set up, or you may be asked to move your parade group and any vehicles.

Street Marshals in yellow vests will be at your staging location to help you find your position and answer any questions. The Street Marshals are volunteers, so please treat them with courtesy.

NOTE: Vehicles are not allowed to re-enter the staging area; remove or take all personal belongings with you as you exit.

Restrooms: Porta-potties are located near the intersection of Ditmar Street and Eucalyptus, on West Street near the church, on Leonard Street near the church, and near the 101 Café on Wisconsin. Your street marshal has a map.

We look forward to seeing you at this exciting Oceanside tradition and appreciate your participation.
