APRIL 1, 2020: THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN ASKED TO DRIVE ONLY FOR NECESSITY OR EMERGENCY PURPOSES. PARTY PARADES HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD. WE ARE WORKING ON A DIGITAL SOLUTION! HANG TIGHT ❤❤❤
What is a Birthday Parade you ask? Well, it’s the next best thing to a Birthday Party!
The birthday kiddo stands out in their front yard and a caravan of friends, family and complete strangers drive by slowly honking their horns, playing music, shouting birthday wishes and waiving decorations!
VERNON BIRTHDAY PARTY PARADES
KELOWNA BIRTHDAY PARTY PARADES
WEST KELOWNA BIRTHDAY PARTY PARADES
HOW TO JOIN A PARADE
To participate in a party, join the facebook group (links above) and show up!
Each child will have a separate facebook event created for their party parade. RSVP to the party to find out when and where each parade is happening.
There will be a pre-determined start point (and start time) where participants can gather to begin the procession together.
If multiple parties are happening on the same day, admins will create a route that goes from one party straight to the next, so the procession of cars can visit each child in succession. THIS ROUTE WILL BE POSTED THE DAY BEFORE THE PARADE.
Simply arrive at the pre-determined start point on time, and join the procession! Feel free to decorate your vehicle, blow bubbles, hold up signs, have balloons, music, honk horns and wave. 🥰
DO NOT THROW OR PASS ANY ITEMS TO THE BIRTHDAY CHILD.
Please keep in mind we are parents just looking to make kids feel special on their birthdays. We are doing this from our own time for free. Please keep it friendly.
HOW TO REQUEST A PARADE FOR YOUR CHILD
**Requests must be submitted no later than NOON the day before your child's bday**
To schedule a parade, create a facebook EVENT (links above) and include the relevant details (it will be approved by an admin).
Child's name
Age turning
Date of birthday
Location where you will be standing (cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets are not an ideal place for the procession to traverse)
Ideal time (TIMES ARE TBD BASED ON ROUTE)
Optional photo
Please add to details as much description of your location as possible: Colour of house, side of road, where to turn around, etc.
We will then approve the facebook EVENT for you to share with friends and family, and members of this group can RSVP to join!
NOTE: will finalize the times of the parties the day before the party, and create a meeting point and route for the procession that takes into account all the parties happening that day.
