Safety Measures:
Extra safety and sanitation measures will be taken to keep the parade volunteers safe. All parade participants are required to wear a mask indoors and out. There will be distanced sign-in spaces for volunteers outdoors on the plaza. The line-up itself is outside or in an open-air parking garage. Hand sanitization stations will be located at volunteer check-in, Veterans Plaza at the Silver Spring Civic Building, each section of the parade line-up and at all portable restrooms. Please do not attend if you have been exposed to someone with Coronavirus.
We need volunteers for the Montgomery County Thanksgiving Parade to act as unit leaders, leading the balloons and dressing up in costume to be on the floats. Also, we need assistance with set-up and break-down.
The parade takes place the Saturday before Thanksgiving, in downtown Silver Spring. The hours are from 7:30am to 1:30pm (you need to be present the whole time) on Saturday, November 20. Dress warmly, as you will be outside. You should try and wear red as your outside layer color. Once you arrive, you will be assigned a position and given directions about your volunteer job. The parade is a couple of hours long, so when you get through the parade once, you should go back to the beginning and the volunteer coordinator will put you on another float/balloon. The same is true after the parade, for clean-up/costume sorting/ float break-down. Check-in for volunteers will be at the Silver Spring Civic Building, One Veterans Place at the corner of Ellsworth Drive and Fenton Street, 20910. Age 13 and above.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
