- Parkland Search and Rescue: 2017 Santa Claus Parade Safety Coordinators
Yorkton Business Improvement District is very proud and excited to host and coordinate the 25th Annual Yorkton Santa Claus Parade! This years parade will once again be in a Reverse Parade format where the floats are stationary, and the spectators drive through!
We are inviting all Yorkton Businesses as well as Yorkton's many Community Service, Charitable Not-For-Profits, Sports Teams or School Groups to put in a decorated float, a car, a trailer, or even a well lit and seasonally festive sign for the viewing pleasure of all Yorkton Families that choose to drive through and participate in the celebration!
- All Floats MUST be mobile as before (no static or ground staged representations or presentations can be accepted).
- Please ensure that float staffing is maintained at a level that can be supported on your float. Please do not cross into lanes of float spectator traffic.
- NOTE: If your float or trailer size is NOT large enough to safely hold your onsite float personnel, please restrict your number of float personnel accordingly.
- For parade safety reasons, we ask that each float group stay with their group and not walk through the parade grounds except behind float groups.
This will still be a fantastic community event and we are expecting as many (or more) spectator participants as seen in past years. There will continue to be a few OTHER community initiatives wrapped into the event, which includes:
- 500 Goody bags to be distributed to the first 500 spectator vehicles.
- 1 Goody bag per vehicle please.
- All goody bags will be provided while vehicles are waiting to be fed into the parade grounds.
- Pancake Breakfast
- Santa Parade Day Movie
- Hot Chocolate, Hot Dogs & Carroling
- City Wide Activities
- Special Santa Parade Sponsor Appearances all Weekend
- And More!
