12 - 30 are in Brewbaker Field

31 - 56 continue on Wallace Street  and

57 - 74 are in the Maury River Middle School back parking lot.

Please share this with all involved in your organization so everyone is aware of where they need to go. Please be advised that the streets will be closed and busy with floats and vehicles lining up, as well as, LOTS of people. We ask anyone dropping off children to park and walk them to their spot - there won’t be room for you to drive along the route.

If you don't know your number, scroll down after the map. Entries are listed in numerical order first, then in alphabetical order.


Let’s all have fun tonight and stay safe!

Rules and Regulations
1.   All parade applications must be received by 5 p.m. on November 29, 2019. A Discount Fee for Early Registration (before November 15, 2019)
       is available. See application.
2.   For safety reasons, all instructions of both the parade marshals and the Lexington Police Department must be obeyed.
3.   REMEMBER: All entries MUST make some effort to decorate to the theme of the 2019 parade:  FESTIVE FRIENDS - FURRY & FEATHERED.
        This includes vehicle entries such as antique cars or trucks.
4.   Please indicate on Application if your group wants to be judged, if an appropriate category exists. Direct your performance accordingly.
       All performance groups and marching bands are limited to a three (3) minute timed stop. Those who don’t adhere to the time limit will not
       be judged and will be asked to move on. It is important to keep the parade moving in a timely manner.
5.   Following are the safety requirements for all floats that will carry children. 
         Floats with children 12 and under will be required to have supervision by an adult.
         Floats with children 5-12 years of age need 1 adult for every 5 children.
         Floats with children under the age of 5 need 1 adult for every 2 children.
6.    Stand and sit on elevated elements of your float at your own risk.
7.    NO candy may be thrown from the floats.  Candy may be distributed by walkers.
8.    All entries must go to the end of the parade route before they let people on or off, disband, or get into vehicles.
        No “on and off” is allowed during the parade.
9.    At the end of the parade, all entries must remove their vehicle from Main Street before dismantling vehicle decorations.
10.  THE SANTA ‘CLAUSE’: It is very confusing to small children to see multiple Santa and Mrs. Clauses riding on floats.
          Our Santa rides on his float at the end of the parade. Please do not put Santa on your float, in the cab, or anywhere else.
11.  ALL animal groups are responsible for their own animal waste cleanup.
12.   Information on lineup, parking, children drop-off and other parade preparations will be sent to you via email on Monday, December 2nd.             PLEASE BE SURE YOUR APPLICATION CONTAINS AN ACCURATE EMAIL ADDRESS.
13.   Inclement Weather Policy: In case of very inclement weather, the parade will be cancelled. Look for announcements after 2pm here,
          on our Facebook page or on 3WZ 96.7.It will only occur in the   case of extreme weather!
