The parade will follow a carefully planned route designed to maximize safety and enjoyment for all attendees. Participants in the parade include local schools, community organizations, and various businesses that are contributing floats and performances.

Residents are encouraged to arrive early to secure good viewing spots along the route. Authorities have also advised on parking arrangements and road closures to ensure smooth traffic flow during the event.
