PARENT DROPOFF/PICKUP AFTER PARADE

7:30pm – Floats will end at Noble Elementary School and will drive down Championship Drive (by the bus barn) to unload. Each float should arrange for parents to pick up their children  after the parade. Parents must park at Foundation Park and walk over to the school(s). Only parade vehicles will be allowed at Noble.

Parade times are fluid based on the number of participants, so we encourage you to have some sort of communication available to let parents know when you arrive. A responsible adult must remain at the arranged location until all children have been picked up.
