making floats

Dance Parade will have magnificent floats, plus wacky vehicles like those you might have seen in the Art Parade, Burning Man and other progressive festivals!

Once your organization registers, you will receive meeting information through which you can join us to learn and ask questions about how to enter a parade float or simple audio system.

Either you can create your own float or Dance Parade can arrange one for you. Whether you bring your float or use one of ours, it is necessary to read, complete and send us the Vehicle Guidelines & Entry Form by April 21st 2010.

Deliveries to the formation area can also be made for pre-packaged parade floats which include a vehicle to pull a float, a trained driver, insurance, and optional sound system. Such Packages are expensive and vary in cost depending on float size, sound system chosen and logos or custom decorations. If you would like customized logos and decorations, please place your order as soon as possible. Email to see various turnkey solutions in the Package Order Sheet.

For small groups, that cannot afford a float, we suggest an audio systems that can be pulled in a wagon, on a tricycle, rickshaw or anything environmentally friendly!  Although we can not guarantee loud sound (80db at A-rating), we do think an IPOD READY AUDIO CART like this one would be great for alot of groups. (approx $300 to buy).

Dance Parade generously supports dance groups looking to perform/celebrate dance with us.  In addition to our scholarship program for Dance Group Participation Fees, we will devote a limited amount of funds necessary to discount parade floats as well as contribute our expert staff to help build them.
