Sign up to participate in the Golden Days parade
June 13, 2018
Help represent UAF in the 2018 Golden Days Grande Parade Saturday, July 21.
UAF’s parade entry includes a large UAF float pulled by a University Fire Department fire truck and accompanied by representatives from the Geophysical Institute, Cooperative Extension and 4-H, and dozens of UAF supporters. This year's theme is Call Me Gold Fashioned. Employees, students and alumni are welcome to walk in the parade. If you would like to ride on the float, please let us know as space is limited.
Participants should read through the parade guidelines and sign up in advance to register and get a gold T-shirt. A roster and UAF liability waiver is required for all participants. Participants accompanying anyone under 18 must also have a parental consent form.
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 be in the north Carlson Center parking lot no later than 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. There will be a shuttle at the end of the parade (728 Gaffney Road) to transport participants back to Ryan Middle School.
