Dear Parade Applicant:
The Christmas in St. Louis Parade Committee is seeking participants for the Ameren St. Louis Thanksgiving Day Parade, which will be held this year on Thursday, November 24th in downtown St. Louis. We expect great interest in the parade this year due to our celebrity grand marshal and several other exciting bits of news you will hear more about shortly.
The parade features more than 135 floats and displays from eight-story giant helium balloon figures to animal units and marching bands. The competition is stiff! We invite you to submit your application to join us in the parade and we encourage you to send it in early. This year’s deadline is October 12, 2011.
Along with submittinga completed application, you must submit a Certificate of Liability Insurance form. All participants are expected to abide by the parade committee’s requirements. A Certificate of Liability Insurance form and the Risk Management Guidlines are found on this website listed under Important Documents.
For our 27th anniversary, KMOV will broadcast the Parade live. Participants receive a high level of visibility throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area and the Midwest. Live broadcast of the parade typically draws the largest audience for that weekend on KMOV.
We look forward to receiving your application and necessary paperwork. Due to the limited number of openings, all applications may not be selected to participate. Every applicant will be notified of acceptance status approximately October 26, 2011.
Thank you for your interest in the Ameren St. Louis Thanksgiving Day Parade!
Sincerely,
Mark Burnham
Parade Unit Chairman
P.S. Holiday themes are encouraged! Groups with cars are limited to 6 cars
