  • Participants can line up on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 3:15pm. NEW - Please leave the first block on the north side of Main Street between Caroline and Smith streets (i.e. across the street from the Fire Department doors) open for the Color Guard and vehicles transporting the parade marshal, Hall of Fame inductee, Homecoming Court, etc.
  • The parade will start promptly at 4:15pm. Homecoming committee members and Plymouth City Police will direct when entries should begin the route.
  • After you complete the parade route, please turn back onto Main Street, as in past years. (This has changed from earlier instructions.)
  • Please clean up after your float in the staging area before and after the parade. All horse entries must clean up after themselves immediately and will not be allowed to begin the parade without a support person equipped to do so.
