Make the most of your show time and decorate like crazy – the crowd and the 4thFest Committee love it!

LiFEchurch has once again been gracious enough to open their doors starting at 10:00 am on the morning of the parade. Restrooms, water and a place to cool down will be available inside and there will be an information booth for the parade next to LiFEchurch.

PARKING It is important to park in the Hy-Vee/Hobby Lobby parking lot or a nearby lot; only vehicle entries in the parade should be in the staging area at the McGregor’s/LiFEchurch parking lot.

PARADE LINEUP  Entries must be in place by 11 am in the McGregor’s/LiFEchurch parking lot. The parade starts promptly at 12 pm. Enter the staging area from 23rd Ave. (west side of the McGregor’s/LiFEchurch parking lot).  Know your number in line! It is listed on the following page and is subject to change. If your entry is in red, line up on 22nd Ave, north of the staging lot, and enter from the north side of 22nd Ave. This street will be closed by 11 am.  Entry numbers will be posted around the staging area. Volunteers will be at the entrances to help direct you and there will be an information booth next to LiFEchurch.  A map of the staging area is included as an attachment to the email.

IMPORTANT NOTES DURING THE PARADE  For the safety of the children and so vehicles can smoothly enter the parade route, 22nd Ave. is a NO CANDY ZONE! Please DO NOT throw candy until the official parade start, on 9th Street.  Keep the pace! Stay two car lengths behind the entry in front of you – not more! You can hand things out, but do not stop the parade – performances must be quick and simple! If you fall behind, please catch up! Parade gaps can be dangerous!  Be careful when driving the route. Watch for children; they will want to enter the road.  Walk to the crowd at the curb to hand things out. Never encourage spectators to enter the street!  Please put your cell phones away; cell phone use (including talking, texting, or taking videos/photos) is prohibited when driving a vehicle, riding an animal, or cycling in the parade.  The parade route is over 2 miles long. Be sure to bring water for the route!  Do not squirt water at spectators; this is important for safety reasons.  Keep it safe; no open flames on entries, all floats must be secure.  Keep pets safe; Inadequate shade, water, and rest on a hot day puts pets at risk for overheating. The pavement may be too hot for a pet’s feet through the parade route. Before including any animals in your entry, see the guidelines at www.coralville.org/4thFestParade (“Animals in the Parade” tab).  Please respect the “limited noise” section of the parade route.  CoralVision (Mediacom Channel 5 and 118-8 in Coralville) will video the parade in front of the Recreation Center for rebroadcast, and stream live on www.facebook.com/Coralville4thFest, so be ready with your best performance; they will have a list of entries and provide commentaries. Programs that are handed out the day of the parade have been donated by Pearson. Thank you Pearson, CoralVision, and our commentators – Rex Brandstatter and Herb Staub!  IF HOT: You may drop out at 18th Avenue toward the end and wait there for your ride.
