The deadline to participate in Herndon’s Homecoming Parade is approaching.
Monday (Sept. 23) is the last day for organizations to register for representation in the parade on Saturday, Oct. 19. Those wishing to simply watch the parade may line up at 9:30 a.m. around Elden Street on the day of the parade.
“Into the Future” will be this year’s parade theme. Participants are welcome to join the parade with a vehicle-powered float, walking float or a group of people, the application form said.
There will be prizes for floats that demonstrate outstanding creativity and adherence to the theme for the following groups:
- School Group
- Performing Group
- Civic Group
- HHS Class Float
- Show Group
Parade organizers want floats to be presentable from both sides, fit the theme and appeal to a wide variety of age groups.
Anyone wishing to volunteer and assist with the parade may sign up online.
More than 58 units and around 1,300 participants took part in the 2018 parade, according to the event website.
