Parade Day: Lining Up and Stepping Off
Parade staff is on duty in Woodruff Park from 8:00 AM until the last person marching has stepped onto Peachtree Street. We’re there to answer questions and take care of last minute concerns and details. Parade staff wears special badges identifying them. Please direct all of your parade-related questions to them, and follow any instructions they give. To avoid any confusion, delays and unnecessary repositioning, parade staff members are the only people authorized to make decisions during line-up (unless over ridden by the Atlanta PD).
Line-up/staging officially begins at Woodruff Park at 9:00 AM. Early arrivals however are most appreciated and encouraged! Woodruff Park is about 4 blocks south of the Hyatt Regency on Peachtree Street at Auburn Avenue. Please plan to be at there by 9:15 AM. Line-up will be completed and final by 9:45 AM, which means if you aren’t in the line-up and ready to go at that time, you might not be in the parade at all. All parade components (vehicles and parade sections) will be lined up according to the “section designationâ€
