Any Parade Entry (Trailers, Cars, Trucks, etc.) must be street-legal and able to pass a current safety inspection.

Due to the best interest of the public’s safety, no entry in the parade should throw anything (candy, pens, merchandise, etc.) to the crowd/spectators. If you wish to pass out any of the previously mentioned items, you should walk them to the crowd/spectators and hand the items to them.

In order to keep a steady pace and retain no gaps, you must maintain a distance of no greater than 50ft from the entry in front of you. If you exceed 50ft, you will be pulled to the side or out of the parade.

Once you reach the end of the parade you are not to stop, you are to continue back to your starting point to avoid traffic jams and disruption to the flow of the parade. If you must stop to unload participants, please utilize the designated “DROP-OFF LANE” and be as quick as safely possible.

*****Please Note: All entries should try to incorporate a patriotic theme, such as Red, White & Blue decor, flags, etc. to honor our veterans.*****

USE OF CONFEDERATE FLAGS IN THE PARADE: In order to recognize all veterans of conflicts from Catawba County, the executive board of Soldiers Reunion Inc. has adopted a policy that only accredited Civil War reenacting units may fly a single Confederate Flag during the parade. The flag must be constructed of materials and in the manner common to those in 1861-1865. This unit must belong to a nation-wide association and be able to provide proof of current, active liability insurance.

*****IF ANY OF THE ABOVE LISTED RULES & REGULATIONS ARE BROKEN, YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM PARTICIPATING IN ANY SOLDIERS REUNION SANCTIONED EVENTS!!*****
