Frequently Asked Questions
Parade route: Hwy 16 from N. Pilot Knob Rd. to Captain's Cap.
Parade viewers are encouraged to park as near as possible to the parade route. Parade viewers are asked to pull off Hwy 16. The Captain’s Cap parking lot is being reserved for parade entrants and floats for dismounting. Please be considerate of businesses along the parade route and do not block their entrances.
Handicap and Disabled Parking is available at the Hotsy facility at Hwy 16 and Triangle Circle.
Parade entry staging will occur on North Pilot Knob Road, between NC 73 and Hagers Ferry Road. Because both lanes of North Pilot Knob Road will be used for northbound travel, you MUST access it from NC 73. Do not arrive prior to 10:00 AM and no later than 11:45 AM.
Because it's a dynamic list, with participants added just hours before, you likely will not be provided your line-up position number until you arrive and check-in at North Pilot Knob Road.
We generally send out confirmations and additional information a few weeks prior to the parade; however, if you have not received an email, please check your spam folder before reaching out to us. Many applicants are finding our emails in their spam folders.
