Any parade, march, ceremony, show, exhibition, pageant or
procession of any kind or any similar display in or upon any street
in the City.
PERSON
Any person, firm, partnership, association, corporation,

No material may be thrown along the parade route. Participants may
assign walkers to hand items to spectators along the parade route.
Walkers shall only distribute gifts, merchandise, literature, hand-outs,
candy or other materials as far off the road as possible to avoid
children and other spectators from running into the streets and so
long as such activity does not draw spectators into the streets.
D. No alcoholic beverages, including, but
not limited to, intoxicating liquor, may be possessed or consumed
by any person either before or while participating in any parade.
This prohibition shall not apply to spectators along the parade route.
E. All motor vehicles and parade floats shall
be propelled at a safe speed and shall maintain a safe distance between
parade participants.
F. No motor vehicles shall be permitted in
any parade when, due to the size, they are unable to operate safely
upon the streets and while turning corners.
