Tiverton Celebrates Parade

May 25, 2024!

PARADE PARTICIPANT INFORMATION

STAGING LOCATION

You have all been assigned a position number and staging area. Click one one of the buttons in the box  below to access it. Additionally, at the bottom of this page is a map that shows you your staging area. Within your staging area, you will find a cone with your number on it. That is where you set up. There will be committee members present to assist you and we will also have paper copies that day to provide to you. 

PLEASE CLICK ON THE RED BUTTON TO ACCESS THE ENTRANT LIST ALPHABETICALLY, OR THE BLUE BUTTON TO ACCESS IT NUMERICALLY

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

  • When you get to the end of the parade route, we will NOT have buses to take people back up to the start. Unfortunately, the bus company did not have enough drivers to spare. If you are walking, you can have a friend/family member pick you up in the Little Willow Parking Lot to take you back. If you have a group marching, you may want to meet at Little Willow early and leave a car there to bring you all back to the staging area.

  • PLEASE KEEP THE PARADE MOVING – We don’t want huge gaps between entrants. If you would like to have your group stop in front of the commentator’s booth, please reach out to one of us as soon as possible and we will stop the parade when you arrive at the commentators.

  • Although the parade starts at 10:00, please plan to arrive around 9:00 to ensure we have plenty of time to get everyone set up in their respective staging areas.

  • Yes, you may pass things out to the crowd. I’m sure they will enjoy it.

  • Be safe! Please drive extremely slow and carefully. There will be kids everywhere and we can’t stress enough the importance of safe driving.

  • When you get to the end of the parade route, we will NOT have buses to take people back up to the start. Unfortunately, the bus company did not have enough drivers to spare. If you are walking, you can have a friend/family member pick you up in the Little Willow Parking Lot to take you back. If you have a group marching, you may want to meet at Little Willow early and leave a car there to bring you all back to the staging area.

  • There will be a porta potty at location areas D1, P1 & P2 for your convenience.

  • PLEASE BE PATIENT AS THE PARADE ENDS! We sometimes have people stop, causing a little bit of a backup but we will do our best to move things along as the parade finishes. If you are in a vehicle at the end of the parade, please continue moving as you pass by the volunteers at the end, so there is no bottleneck. DO NOT pass other parade entrants to escape! We received a LOT of grief for that last year.

  • If you are assigned to a J Location, Judson Street will be closed to everyone except parade participants, parade participant vehicles (vehicles actually in the parade) and, of course, residents. If you are assigned to the Holy Ghost/Judson St staging areas (J1-J3), you must enter Judson Street from Shove Street. The officers will NOT let you in via Main Road. NO other vehicles will be allowed on Judson. If you need to park a car, do so on the neighboring streets and walk over.
     

The staging areas are:

  • Holy Ghost Church parking lot and the sidewalk in front at 316 Judson St (J1, J2 & J3)

  • Pocasset School lining up around the school itself at 242 Main Rd (P1)

  • The large parking lot behind Pocasset School (P2) accessed via Shove St

  • North Tiverton Baptist Church parking lot at 198 Main Rd (D1) and TPD/TFD will also be on Main Road at the top of Judson St.
