Pride Parade Application

Important details for group participation

If you arrive after 10:00 am, there is no guarantee that you will be able to participate.

You are assigned to 1 of 2 assembly areas, depending on your application form. If you will be having vehicles and walkers, you are assigned to both assembly areas. For safety and logistical reasons, vehicles are not permitted to line up in the walker assembly area. Unless you have received additional instructions from the parade coordinator, please follow the instructions below.

Upon check in you will be given your parade number and directed to your staging area on the access road. Once the vehicles are lined up, they will be escorted down Route 29 to Jefferson Street. Vehicles will be held on Jefferson Street until the parade begins at 11:00. 

IMPORTANT:  If you applied to be in the parade and have not received your parade instructions via email, contact NHC immediately at parade@newhopecelebrates.com
