Parade Day Information

Oct 08, 2027 — Line-up 8:00 a.m. • Judging 8:30 a.m. • Parade 10:00 a.m.

Due to the high traffic volume at the end of the parade route, all motorized floats, vehicles, and horse units will continue down Austin Street and enter the turning lane at the parking lot for The Wave Pool and Baseball Fields. This provides ample room for unloading participants safely and dismantling entries if necessary.

All walking participants will continue onto Nelda Street and finish in the Coliseum grass parking area. Do not stop your walking group until you are inside the designated parking area.

Line-up

Information and parade positions will be available beginning at 8:00 a.m. at Seguin High School off the 1200 block of College Street. All entries should be in line by 8:30 a.m.. Late arrivals may not be permitted to participate and will not be judged.

Staging Area

No vehicles other than official parade entries will be allowed in the staging area. Parents and sponsors should drop participants off at the intersection nearest their assigned entry. Parade volunteers will be available to assist.

Judging

Judging begins promptly at 8:30 a.m.. All entries must be completely decorated, assembled, and ready for judging with participants in place before judging begins.
