Tips for Parade Spectators

1. The parade starts at 10 AM. So, arrive early to find a good spot.

2. Besides the parade registrants traveling down the middle of the street, only police officers, other city officials and parade marshals will be allowed in the street.

3. Bring plenty of bottled water and sun screen and dress lightly!!!

4. Keep the area clean by using trash barrels.

5. We ask parade participants to refrain from tossing items to spectators. Likewise, spectators should not toss items back to parade participants. Spectators are not allowed to walk into the street to get items. Spectators must wait until parade participants come to the sidelines to hand out items. Parade participants are not allowed to hand out items to spectators who are standing on sidewalks in the assembly area. (So, spectators who want sample items must view the parade from the actual parade route.)

6. When the parade ends, spectators are kept out of the street because street sweepers will begins cleaning the streets. Then, the police reopen the streets to traffic.

7. Police personnel and Indy Pride Parade marshals will be on hand, but spectators can be a big help by obeying the above rules.
