Groups Invited to Enter Floats in the Forrest City Area Community Christmas Parade
Plans are set for the 2016 Forrest City Area Community Christmas Parade which will be held on Friday, December 2, 2016. Last year’s parade was quite successful, with the participation of over 90 entrants. The parade theme for 2016 is “A Blue Christmas” in honor of local law enforcement officials. Representatives from the area departments will serve as the Grand Marshals.
All floats will be judged prior to the parade. The judges will then award the winners their trophies before the parade begins so they may display their trophies during the parade. In addition, the winners will carry a banner announcing their category and place.
Parade entrants are required to be in place no later than 6:00 p.m. at the Forrest City Junior High School parking lot to compete. First, second and third place trophies will be awarded in each category. Floats will be divided into four categories: Industrial/Commercial, Churches, Civic Groups and Novelty. Those who arrive late may still participate in the parade but they will not be judged in the competition.
All area antique tractor owners are invited to join the parade again this year.
Motorcycles and horses will NOT be allowed in this year’s parade.
Any vehicle participating in the parade without a float attached to it must be classified as a classic car or truck (25 years or older). No ‘burn outs’ or ‘hot rods’ will be allowed.
Also, to enter the competition as a float, there must be a float attached to the vehicle or pulling mechanism. For example, a decorated car will not serve as a float.
Parade officials, volunteers, and law enforcement officers have the authority to remove anyone from the parade route for conduct not conducive to a positive community atmosphere. Parade officials reserve the right to bar entrance to any participant not following the parade guidelines.
Entry forms are available at the Chamber Office and must be turned in by Tuesday, November 29th.
Porta-potties will be available for the participants.
The parade will begin at the Forrest City Junior High School parking lot at 7:00 p.m. The parade will head east on Victoria Street, right onto Division St., left onto Arkansas St., right onto Washington St. to Hill St., one block west on Hill to Rosser Street, north on Rosser to end at Regions Bank parking lot.
We hope people from all over the area will join us for our Annual Community Christmas Parade. It’s a great time for the entire family and a chance to enjoy the holiday season. For more information, call the Forrest City Area Chamber of Commerce at (870) 633-1651.
