FAQs

1. WHEN ARRIVING WHERE DO I ENTER THE LINEUP?

Enter the line up at the intersection of South Elm St. and South St.

2. WHAT DOES THE PAYMENT FOR A TICKET GO TO?

The ticket sales go towards event police costs, insurance, and paid entrants such as professional bands or the like which would not otherwise be in our parade. If any monies are left over they are entered into a general fund for the distribution of scholarships to Oconomowoc Area High School students seeking a higher education.

4. DO I NEED A FLOAT ENTRY TICKET FOR EVERYONE THAT IS TAKING PART IN MY FLOAT?

NO. Only one ticket is needed per float, walking unit, fire department, etc. If the crowd would identify you as a unified group, you need only one float entry ticket.

Notes:

501(c)(3) organizations may contact the Host to obtain a promotional code if the $30.00 general entrant ticket is not manageable with the organization's 2024 budget.

We will not be hosting political acts this year, but we look forward to inviting them for the 2026 parade.
