Drive slowly and watch for pedestrians. » Stay on the curb during the parade (children especially!). » Never run towards or in front of a parade float, even when stopped. » Exit the parade area quickly and stick to the sidewalks when able.

Why is there a new route? Portions of the former parade route and float staging area, including Chan View Drive, Iroquois Circle, West 76th Street, and Huron Avenue, will be under construction in July 2024 as part of the Pavement Rehabilitation Project. The new route will address this immediate challenge, with the additional goal of increasing public safety and providing a better viewing experience with fewer gaps between floats. Where can I park to view the parade? Parking is available throughout downtown Chanhassen. Parking will not be available on Santa Vera Drive between Powers and Kerber Boulevard, on Kerber Boulevard south of Saddlebrook Curve, or along the parade route. Exit times from the parking lots north of Market Street will be delayed, as Market Street will be closed to the public from 1:30-5:00 p.m. for end-of-parade float staging. Where can I drop off & pick up my parade participant? DROP OFF: Prior to 1:30 p.m., participants can be dropped off at the corner of Kerber Boulevard and Santa Vera Drive on the west (southbound) side of Kerber Boulevard. After 1:30 p.m., participants can be dropped off at the corner of Kerber Boulevard and Saddlebrook Curve or on Santa Vera Drive, east of Kerber Boulevard. PICK UP: Please coordinate pickup with your participant or their group. The parade will end at the intersection of Great Plains Boulevard and Market Street, and floats will empty onto Market Street at the conclusion of the parade.
