Staging and recovery
Additional Information
Staging begins at 7:30 AM to 9:15, all participants should be in place by 9:30.
Enter northern street closest to your assigned lineup number. (i.e. #1 - #6 enter St. Vrain) and park/stage according to position on map. If you’re staged on a side street (St. Vrain, Willamette, Monument or Dale) enter and park on that street.
Bused in groups, drop off on either Cascade or Nevada on street closest to the lineup number to allow marchers to walk in. The bus driver then proceeds south to the end of the parade route on the aforementioned adjacent street (circle around on Cache La Poudre if necessary) and will be directed to park on Tejon, south of W. Vermilo St. Officers will be on hand to allow through barricades. This will facilitate the marching group’s quick access to their respective busses upon completion of the parade.
Participant Parking. City Parking Garages are located at Nevada & Kiowa, Nevada & Colorado, Cascade and Bijou and at any unhooded parking meters. NOTE: There may be a charge associated with the parking garages.
No passing out of any items or requesting of donations (i.e. throwing candy, handing out items to include water, literature, poppies, or donation buckets, etc.) is allowed due to insurance safety requirements.
No political statements, for or against any candidates, or propositions. This event is apolitical, we are not allowed to endorse or support any political actions due to the nature of our non-profit status.
Motorcyclists are required to refrain from excessive high revving of their engines. Failure to abide will result in removal from the parade and possible ticketing from CSPD as it exceeds our noise permit.
Upon exit of parade route, quickly dis-embark any passengers riding on float & trailers, secure what is necessary and move off W. Vermijo as soon as possible to facilitate a smooth flow of traffic out of the parade area. Please do not park or loiter in this area.
MVCC vehicles carrying individual Veterans will have a police escort back to their staging area to disembark their passengers.
