The Parade Entry Form is on our website www.stpatparade.com and can be submitted electronically or you can mail the entry for to P.O. Box 25, Scranton Pa. 18501. The fee schedule for Commercial Entries is located on the form; there remains no charge for community non-profit groups.

We try to make each Division in the Parade like a small Parade with Bands, Marchers, Floats and Vehicles in each Division. We try to separate Bands and other entries with music with other types of marchers so as not to have the music drown out each other. We do try to give special consideration to marching groups with small children as March can be cold. High School Bands are rotated yearly so all will have a chance at good positioning in the Parade.

We will close applications about 2 weeks prior to the parade and the Operations Committee will present a final lineup in the web site and to the Scranton Times on or about March 8th. Assembly areas will be included.

We assemble the Parade using both sides of Mulberry Street from Wyoming Ave, and North on Wyoming towards Scranton Prep.

All groups appearing in the Parade must file an application. We do not allow groups to “piggy back” with other groups; this is violation of Parade Rules.

Getting your application in early is the easiest way to get better placement. We try to build the Parade using the earlier applications first. We also give considerations to marching groups as opposed to people sitting in warm vehicles. A clear concise description of your entry could help, especially if you think you have “entertainment value” to add to the Parade.

If you would like more information on becoming a vendor for the Parade please contact the City of Scranton's Licensing, Inspections and Permits Office by phone at (570)348-4193 or by email at licensing@scrantonpa.gov. We ask that all vendors stay off the Parade route for the safety of everyone.
