There are lots of great places to stay in Scranton! We recommend that you check out the sponsors page or visitnepa.org for area travel information.
Parking is available in downtown Scranton around the parade route. We recommend arriving early before the streets are closed (usually 9:30am on Parade Day). Check out scrantonpaparking.com for area parking locations and information.
There aren’t any bad places along the Parade route. There are bleachers near the reviewing booth on North Washington Avenue. Crowds traditionally line Lackawanna Avenue (standing 4, sometimes 5 or more rows deep). Anywhere along Wyoming Avenue will allow you great opportunity to soak in the sights and sounds of the day!

Keep an eye on the weather and dress accordingly. You may need gloves or you may need suntan lotion – hopefully the latter! Chairs and blankets are allowed on the Parade route.
Typically the Parade runs slightly under 3 and a half hours.
The Parade Entry Form and all entry information is on our website (click here).
We try to make each division in the Parade like a small parade with bands, marchers, floats and vehicles in each division. We make every attempt to separate bands and other entries with music so that each unit may be individually and clearly heard. We try to give special consideration to marching groups with small children as March in Scranton 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 on 11:59pm of February 29th. The Operations Committee will then present a final lineup on the web site and in the Scranton Times Tribune by the Monday of “Parade Week”. Assembly areas will be included.
We assemble the Parade using both sides of Mulberry Street from Wyoming Avenue, and North on Wyoming towards Scranton Prep. Additional details will be provided with the Line of March.
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.
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.
We are always looking for volunteers on Parade Days, please contact us if you are interested!
