Auto Entries will need to access the Parade Formation Area Only by traveling either North or South on HAYVENHURST AVE and turning WEST ON CHATSWORTH STREET and park vehicles on the Northern Curb of Chatsworth Street at assigned marked unit number.
Those Particular CAR CLUBS that have specifically assigned a formation slot (West of Petit on the Parade Formation Map) are recommended to enter the area Between BALBOA BLVD and WEST OF PETIT AVE on both the NORTH and SOUTH sides of CHATSWORTH STREET by traveling ONLY eastward from Balboa Blvd.
We have all kinds of units and we have them approach the formation area from different directions for SAFETY reasons, so please assist us in this regard.
For those Auto entries with multiple designations (A/B/W, A/M or A/W), the other aspects of your unit (other than the auto) should line up in the appropriate area (B = band, M = Motorized and W = Walking). Please see your map. These aspects of your unit should also enter the Formation Area as prescribed for those types of units.
Check in between 11AM AND NOON at the Chamber Tent in the park (just east of the Library at the northwest corner of the Park). Then, return to your vehicle. It is imperative that you remain near your auto as our Auto Coordinators will be moving the vehicles with your assistance to tighten things up. WE REALLY NEED YOU IN PLACE NO LATER THAN NOON – PLEASE HELP US IN THIS REGARD! Vehicle travel in the Formation Area (Balboa on the west, Hayvenhurst on the east, Tulsa St on the north and San Jose on the south) will be restricted to parade entrants from 11:30am SHARP!
Judging of vehicles (which have elected to be judged) will commence at noon SHARP! There can be no exceptions.
Please review ALL of the rules. Each one exists for a reason (or reasons) – most for safety reasons or to make the parade the best event that it can be. The Parade is for all of us – but especially for the children. Over 3,500 kids will participate in this year’s parade – and over 100,000 children have participated in it over the years.
Thank YOU for your participation – YOU help to “make” the parade.
