Savannah Pride 2023 Rules and FAQ

Q: How do I find the parade information/line up for confirmed parade registrants?

A: You will receive an email with your line up number, Parade route, and parade check-in location after parade applications close.

Q: Do all the walkers need to be at the staging area during our line-up time?

A: No. At least one member of your organization must be present at your line-up spot on the staging road. That member must check in to confirm your organization's participation. The rest of your organization must be present 20 minutes prior to parade take off at 8pm. NOTE: this rule only applies to walkers; all vehicles must load in during the line-up time starting at 6:00pm.

Q: How long is the route and what should we prepare for?

A: The route is approximately 1 mile and takes about 15 minutes to complete. If this is too far a distance for members of your group, be sure your group has one official parade vehicle (this can be a golf cart or other small vehicle). At a minimum, have plenty of bottled water for your participants.

Q: What are the requirements and limitations of vehicle/float permits, size, and more?

A: All vehicles in the parade are required to have applied through Savannah Pride (except city officials who may confirm via email). Each entry permits one vehicle or up to three motorcycles, and additional vehicles can be added at $50 each. Your line up confirmation will be emailed to you with the line-up time. Any commercial vehicles that normally require a Commercial Drivers License to operate are required to have a CDL operator.

Float dimensions may not exceed 9’ wide x 53’ long x 14’ high (street to highest point). Trailers must be towed by an accompanying vehicle and have a turning radius of no less than 90 degrees. All floats/trailers must have handrails.

Q: When do I need to arrive the day of the parade?

A: You will line up starting at 6:00 pm for vehicles and 7:00pm for walkers. All vehicles must be parked by 7:30 at the latest for walker participant safety. You are allowed to park and leave your vehicle after checking in, but you must return by 7:30 pm. We request engines to be running and ready 15 minutes prior to the parade start at 8pm.

Q: Where do I need to arrive the day of the parade?

A: Check-in will be at the intersection of Fahm and Indian Street. Staging will take place on Indian Street.

Q: How do I register additional vehicles or motorcycles?

A: You can register additional vehicles on the Savannah Pride ticketing portal.

Q: Are there any limitations for items we can give away during the parade?

A: If you are planning to give away any items along the parade route, they must be (gently) tossed out to the crowd. Do not pass out giveaways, as crowds will gather and cause major delays in parade traffic. Spectators are not permitted to approach parade contingents. Our volunteers will help enforce this – their goal is to keep you safe.

Q: Are there any limitations for performing or music?

A: DO NOT STOP at any point during the Parade unless necessary.
