2017 St. Patricks

Day Parade
Saturday, March 18, 2017
PARADE REGISTRATION IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to assist in event logistics.
You cannot leave and re-enter the parade. Doing so can revoke participation and could result in
revocation of parade permit.
No gaps in the parade. Volunteers will work to keep participants close together. When entries spread
out, it becomes a safety issue.
Absolutely no candy can be distributed. Sioux Falls City Ordinance 38-143 states: No person con-
ducting, managing, or participating in any parade shall distribute or permit the distribution of any
candy or balloons to persons in attendance during the parade.
Alcohol will not be permitted. No alcohol on floats, in vehicles, in the staging area or de-staging
area, etc. If a person is drinking and operating a vehicle, he/she will be subject to removal or pos-
sible arrest by the police. These rules are state statutes.
Absolutely no semi-trailers. Semi-trailers will not be allowed in the parade due to their length. There
are several corners on the route and staging area, and they are too difficult to turn with such a long
float.
No handouts of any kind. For safety reasons, and to keep the parade flowing, the distribution of
souvenirs, flyers, etc. will not be permitted.
Do your best to keep litter under control. Help keep SiouxFalls beautiful!
Adults 16 and over must purchase an official St. Patricks Day Button. ($3) Buttons are available
at the SiouxFalls Area Chamber of Commerce office (200 N. Phillips Ave., Suite 200), at several
downtown businesses and will also be available the day of the parade.
A St. Patricks Day theme is required for all parade participants. Use the color green or any other
St. Patricks Day theme to fit the festive occasion.
Each motorized float must provide walkers on each side of entry to ensure crowd safety.

The above rules will help ensure your personal safety

and the safety of others. Have an enjoyable time and
thank you for your courtesy and participation!
Contact Valerie Willson at the Sioux Falls Area
Chamber of Commerce with any additional questions:
