The following list of regulations regarding parades held in the
Town of Federalsburg must be adhered to by organizers and participants. Any
violation of this policy will result in immediate ejection and will prohibit
participation in future parades.
No items, including candy, are to be thrown into the
crowds on the sidelines. Items may be handed to spectators by walkers, provided
that it does not hold up the steady movement of the parade.
No commercial vendors will be issued permits for a parade
in Federalsburg. Local businesses or nonprofit organizations may be permitted
to sell food or novelty items with prior approval of the Parade Committee
as long as it does not disrupt the parade in any way.
Specific areas will be designated for dropping off parade
units and participants. All participants must comply with the direction of
the Parade Committee, the Federalsburg Police Department, the Federalsburg
Public Works Department or other Town officials.
All music will be either hand-carried instruments (bands,
drum units) or portable hand-carried units. Cars will not be allowed to accompany
marching units to provide music.
All efforts to maintain an orderly and safe parade for
participation units and spectators will be made. Any comments or concerns
before, during or after the parade should be addressed to the Federalsburg
Police Chief at 410-754-8966.
