Thank you for signing up to participate in the 47th Annual Fulton Oysterfest Parade!
To line up for the parade, participants should check in starting at 7:30 am in the parking lot of Harbor Oaks Shopping Center near Zavala Furniture. Please DO NOT PARK in front of Zavala Furniture as they will be opening for business that day.
Once checked in you will be given a spot number and you can then go ahead and stage at that time. Please park as close as possible to your staging number to utilize space as much as possible.
Please leave right side of Traylor Blvd open as others will be driving to get to their staging spot. DO NOT BLOCK driveways down Traylor Blvd
At check in you will be given a paper with a number on it. Please attach that number to the PASSENGER SIDE windshield for the parade announcers to identify your entry as you pass by. The parade announcers will be located in front of the Sugar Shack.
When you turn on to Chaparral St at the end of the parade please DO NOT STOP to unload. You must continue on to a side street or another location to unload, as Fulton Beach Road will re-open at the end of the parade.
PARADE DIRECTOR will be driving around on a golf cart and will be available if you have any questions.
