Enter a Float or Unit!

Our application process for entering a float or unit in the 2013 parade will be open on July 1, 2013.  The application deadline is Friday, October 4.

Please review our Parade Policies prior to applying as you will be responsible for all information contained therein.  Click here to go to our Parade Policies page.

By applying for and being accepted into the Chesapeake Energy Parade of Lights, you agree to abide by these policies, and allow Downtown Fort Worth Initiatives, Inc., or its assignees, to use your entry, its likeness and the likeness of any and all entry participants in any future promotional or marketing materials.

You also agree to have the requisite number of lights on either your walkers, float, vehicle, horse and/or carriage.  For our 31st anniversary, you will have to pass an inspection at the staging area, and, if your entry is found to be deficient in lights, you will be pulled from the lineup. The parade is televised in HD, and our lights are what keep us at the top of the attractions in the Metroplex over the holidays!

Notices will go out to qualifying participants via email by Friday, October 18.
