Big Changes for This Year & Other Important Stuff

• In case you haven't heard, guests are no longer permitted (this was a decision made by the parade organizers, not YMKN).  
• If you know someone interested in joining, but who didn't get their application/events in on time, we do have a very limited number of Introductory Memberships available - these members can attend the Day Parade + either the Knight Parade or St. Patrick's Day Parade.
• Don't forget your re-usable cup!!!!  We have a few extras under the bar for emergencies, but definitely not enough for everyone and no single-use plastic cups.

Planning for Parade Day

• Wristbands - Wristbands will be distributed at the bead drop off event.  If you can't make it to the event, please submit our e-signature wristband pickup form to have someone else pick up your wristband or to request it be mailed to you.
• Parade Kick-Off: The parade kicks off at 2pm, but everyone should plan to arrive no later than 1pm.  
• Transportation: YMKN will have a round trip bus available (55 seats).  If the YMKN bus is full, there are several Krewes who run a bus loop to staging for around $20/seat and post availability on the page.  The two most popular are: 
• • Krewe of St. Florian runs a one-way bus from the Fire Museum 
  • Egypt Shriners run a roundtrip bus from/to their event hall on Washington St.

Parade Position: TBD.  The float will be parked on Bayshore between TBD and TBD.

Bus Transportation: A one-way bus is available ($30 per seat; 55 seats available) and will pick up / drop att at the after-party location.  Click here to purchase a seat.  Note - the bus fills up every year, so don't wait until the last minute to purchase.  Any seats not sold by 1/15 will be offered to other Krewes.

Lunch: Lunch will be provided at no charge.  Please indicate when you RSVP if you require a vegetarian meal.

Snacks: A variety of healthy snacks (protein bars, etc) will be available.  We'll also have a tray of sandwich sliders for later in the day (on those amazingly alcohol-absorbing King's Hawaiian rolls :)
