THE LIGHTS UP PARADE
The Lights Up Holiday Parade, sponsored by David Electric, is held at 5:30 pm on December 5, with line-up starting at 4:30. The parade marches down Broad Ripple Avenue from the east and then turns and heads east on Westfield Boulevard. We welcome all groups to join in our community parade. Entries include floats, decorated cars and trucks, walking groups, or a combination of all of these! The only requirement is we ask that your vehicle has holiday lights on it.
Sign up for the parade via our online form here. There is a registration fee to cover the costs of traffic control and city permit fees. The charge is $30 for non-profits and $50 for all others. The fee may be paid online and the links are found on the registration form or on the website here.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
All BRVA Members and Non-Members including individual groups, clubs, organizations, businesses, schools, sports teams, bands, performers, etc. are welcome to participate in the parade. We welcome entries that walk, skate, ride, drive, etc. (Just please no political statements or campaigning).
REQUIREMENTS
The ONLY REQUIREMENT is that your entry MUST BE LIGHTED. We have found that the LED, battery-powered lights work well. They can be purchased at most home goods stores (Target, Lowes, Walmart, Menards, etc.)
The links to pay for the parade fee are found within the registration form and on our website. You may pay by card online or send a check to the BRVA office.
