Programs

Note:

Lights are the most important part of this event... the more the merrier, the brighter the better!
Music is also strongly encouraged - live or recorded - kept at appropriate levels.
Maximum height of floats - 13 feet high to clear the train trellis.
Throwing of candy or novelties is strictly prohibited. Darkness, moving vehicles and many children combine to create safety hazards. Walkers may hand (not throw) candy to spectators.
Entrants are expected to keep the staging area clean.
No Santas, please! The committee will provide an official Santa and Mrs. Claus.
The parade route is 1.5 miles long. Young children and elderly participants are encouraged to ride on a float rather than walk the entire route.
Entrants should assemble by 3:30pm at the staging area, located on ONE SIDE ONLY on Grove St. in Putnam. The parade officially ends at the Putnam Municipal Complex at the corner of Providence and School Streets in Putnam.
Floats and vehicles must immediately continue back to the Grove Street area. Walkers and marchers only may end at the Putnam Municipal Complex. Please coordinate pick-up and drop-off of your participants ahead of time to avoid traffic delays. Carpooling helps!
Please submit your entry form, fee, and entry description by November 25th.
