How to register at the reception to participate in the Parade

• Reception of parade participants starts at 10:30AM (planned).
• Tell the staff your preferred float and the number of people to be on it, and then receive certificate ribbons for participation.
• One person can apply for up to 5 participants. (If there are more than 5 participants in your group, nominate another applicant for every 5 participants.)
• The maximum number of people allowed on each float is 250 people. Once the allowable number is reached, the application will be closed even during the reception period.

Requests to Parade participants

Move forward smoothly without stopping the flow of the line.

Try to stay in line and move forward without stopping. Follow instructions from volunteer staff (wearing the staff T shirt).

Refrain from showing too much bare skin.

You will be walking on public roads in the daytime, so do not expose your genitals or breasts and refrain from wearing clothes such as jockstraps which show bare bottoms.

Marching and dancing require permission.

Any group that is planning a group activity such as marching and dancing must contact the Executive Committee to obtain permission beforehand. Even in that case, no choreography involving standing still is permitted.

Use of vehicles is not permitted.

You cannot participate in the Parade on a private vehicle. Unicycles, bicycles, in-line skates and other items that become unstable when moving slowly are also prohibited.

To distribute handouts or other materials, contact the Executive Committee first and follow its rules.

Due to disposal problems, handouts, leaflets, flyers, etc. are not allowed to be delivered by hand in the vicinity of the Parade course. If you have something to distribute, contact the Executive Committee beforehand and follow its rules.

Consider others when you take photos or film videos.

Some participants may not want to be photographed or filmed. If you want to photograph or film a particular person, get her/his permission first. In principle, you are allowed to photograph/film objects on the stage and the fenced area in front of the stage. Some programs and some seats, however, prohibit photographing/filming. Check for more details on the Parade day.

In areas other than the above, you are allowed to take photos and film videos from a distance, which will not distinguish individual faces. At the Parade, you are allowed to photograph/film objects anywhere but “no photo/filming” blocks. While forming a line for the Parade, however, no photographing/filming is permitted in any block (“block” represents a group of 200 to 250 people and the Parade is divided into multiple blocks).

If you are thinking about using any image you have photographed/filmed in a media report, on a website, blog or other media, you must receive guidance at the press reception desk under the reception tent.
