Join Our Parade! All the Details Here!

We can’t wait for the Puppet Parade on Saturday, September 24, kicking off GLASS STREET LIVE 2016! We’ll be walking down Glass Street led by local musicians, and with crazy colorful hand-built puppets. We’d love for all neighbors, organizations and businesses in and around Glass Street to participate.

We’ll be meeting at the Sunny Town Supermarket at 2300 Dodson Avenue at 10:30am, and the parade will line up and start at 11:15am. Parking is available in the parking lot of the supermarket. Below you’ll find answers to some FAQ’s about the details!

What are the guidelines for the parade?

The only guideline of the parade is to wear your organization or businesses’ shirts, carry banners or otherwise represent!

Is there a registration sheet /formal requirements to be a part of the parade?

To sign up, email info@thechattery.org and let us know the name of your organization, how many people will be walking, and anything else you find relevant.

​Are most people walking? Will there be people driving cars/trucks/floats?

Walking or bike riding only in this parade. No cars will be allowed.

Do we need to craft/create anything for the parade?

Costumes and puppets are encouraged! The Chattery will be supplying a limited supply of hand puppets. You can also come build fun puppets using recycled materials at Mark Making in the Glass Street Neighborhood on Monday and Thursday evenings! Check out their FB event page for more fun photos.

Is there a minimum/maximum number of people from our organization that can be present?

The more the merrier! We’d love to have as many people as possible for the parade.

Where is the parade pathway starting and ending?

The parade will begin at Sunny Town Supermarket (at 2300 Dodson Ave) , head down Glass Street, and will end around North Chamberlain and Glass Street.

Are there candy or treats being thrown out during the parade?

Feel free to bring candy or treats to throw out! The community is encouraged to walk the parade with everyone, but we imagine lots of kiddos will be running after candy. Who doesn’t love catching treats?

See you there!
