General Guidelines
  • The early bird deadline is Monday, October 2. Applications received by this date will be considered first. The final application deadline is Friday, November 15, 2019. Applications submitted after this date will be considered only if there is space remaining in the parade.
  • The Organizing Committee reserves the right to select participants that are best suited to the event. If selected, you will be sent a participation confirmation with instructions on submitting payment and the required documentation. Failure to provide this by the
    specified date could result in your group being unable to participate in the Parade.
  • Participants are asked to incorporate the theme when dressing their walking group or designing their float. Commercial motorized vehicles must be decorated as a float. Participants not in compliance may be asked to withdraw from the parade.
  • The name of the participating organization may appear on the sides, back or front of the Float. The name of a commercial business may appear on a sign in the following manner (if commercial entry fee paid), “Sponsored by…”.
  • Participants must be entertaining to a family audience primarily made up of children between the ages of two through 11. Please give considerable time and thought to the creativity and design of your walking group and float.
  • No participant may depict Santa Claus and/or Mrs. Claus.
  • No participant or costume may depict anything political, controversial or otherwise offensive within the sole discretion of the Event Representative.
  • Participants are not allowed to solicit or distribute coupons/novelties, food and/or beverages. Candies will be distributed by official Parade volunteers only, unless otherwise authorized by the Event Representative.
  • Any consumption or possession of alcohol and/or illegal drugs is forbidden before, during and after the Parade festivities. Any individuals that are caught will be dismissed from the Parade immediately and the proper authorities will be notified.
  • Mississauga is committed to promoting a smoke-free environment. In accordance with the Smoke-Free Policy, smoking is not permitted on the parade route. We ask all participants to follow this policy.
