Geauga County Maple Festival
GRAND PARADES

2012 Theme: 
'MAPLE ~ Our Sweetest Heritage'

The 83rd annual Geauga County Maple Festival Parades will be held on Saturday, April 28th and Sunday, April 29th in Chardon, Ohio.This is Chardon’s Bicentennial year.  The City of Chardon & Chardon Township are
celebrating the community’s 200th birthday.  Therefore, the bicentennial parade theme is “MAPLE – Our Sweetest Heritage”.  We request that all float entries be done in accordance with the theme. Both parades will begin at 3 PM sharp.  Any individual or group may complete the entry form to participate.  Commercial units will be accessed a fee of $25.00 per entry per day.  No charge to non-profit organizations.
  There will be float judging and prizes awarded in Junior & Adult floats, Junior and Senior Marching Corps, Antique/Classic Cars and Horse Divisions for those units participating in both days parades.  You will be mailed a confirmation letter approximately 10 days prior to the parade, which will include the designated area for the line-up and a map that will assist you.  Line-up begins at 1:45 PM each day and parade crews will be available to assist you.  Parade entry forms must be received by April 14th.  Please do not hesitate to call with any questions or concerns that you may have.  We look forward to having you join us.
