Parking and parade details
UAF's contribution to the parade includes the University Fire Department's Ladder 10, a large UAF float, Cooperative Extension and 4-H, employees, alumni and more. We'd like to have some participants ride on the float. If you're interested, please let us know.

Parade participants should arrive between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. Judging is at 8:45 a.m., and we'd like to have some participants join us on the float at that time. Participants must arrive to the north Carlson Center parking lot before 9:30 a.m. to get positioned before the parade begins at 10 a.m. There will be no parking at the Carlson Center for participants.

Participants should park at Ryan Middle School and take the free shuttle to the parade line-up. The parade route turns south on Barnette Avenue this year due to construction on Noble Street. There will be a shuttle at the end of the parade (728 Gaffney Rd.) to transport participants back to Ryan Middle School.

Special thanks to the University Fire Department, the UAF Facilities Services grounds crew and all the participants for thier support of the parade.
