Parade Politician Information

Each year, the YH Parade is excited to encourage local and State Politicians to participate in our parade. This parade is the Oldest of its kind in the nation and has over 8,000 parade viewers each year.

Politicians that are walking as part of their current role and responsibility may enter the parade for free.  Note: while you can walk with family and aids, you cannot walk with supporters (as we consider this campaigning and fees are charged. See below).

Participants must provide their own banner.

Politicians that would like to attend as part of recognition for a role or for campaign purposes are also encouraged to attend. The following fees apply:
$500.00           Ride in a car with a banner or sign – no walkers, flyers or pamphlets
$1,000.00        1-10 marchers with signs and pamphlets.
$1,500.00        11-20 marchers with signs and pamphlets. This level also makes you a Band sponsor and you will be placed in front of a band
