Staging Areas

Just like previous years, we are asking all groups/floats to meet in the west end of the village at 12.45pm. There will be a float preparation area at Dennehy’s garage. Please ensure that you take your correct position in the parade line-up as per the group you were assigned. We have marshals there to help everybody find the correct group placing.

 

Parade Route

The parade will start at Aldi and move up the main street and finish at the Community Hall. The main viewing stand, were the judging will take place, will be outside St Aloysius College. The road will not be closed but they will be plenty on marshals on duty.

After the parade, all groups can meet in the playground area behind the community hall, so parents can collect children. All floats, that need too, can continue on to the Eastlink Busines Park (behind Mace) where there will be an area for them to park up.

The prizes for Best Entry, Best Dressed Window and Best Commercial Entry will be presented on the Main stand as soon as possible after the parade.
