Rules & Regulations

Thank you for participating in the 65th annual Key Biscayne 4th of July Parade, set to take place on Thursday, July 4th, 2024. Your presence and dedication truly make this event a vibrant celebration of our island community.

To ensure a seamless event, we ask that all float participants gather along Fernwood Road in preparation for the parade. It is essential that you align yourselves according to your designated numbers no later than 10 am, as the parade will commence promptly at 11 am. Our diligent Parade Committee members will be at the corner of Harbor Drive and Fernwood Road from 8:30 am onwards to assist you in locating your assigned positions.

We will be posting the line-up on this website the evening of July 3rd, so you will know your line-up number. Please only park at your designated number.

For your convenience, parking will be available at the Key Biscayne Community Church, St. Christopher’s By the Sea, and Key Biscayne Crossbridge Church.

Given the anticipated heat, we want to remind you to stay hydrated and take precautions by bringing sunscreen and bug repellent. We encourage you to dress comfortably in patriotic red, white, and blue colors.

Please be aware that certain items, including confetti, streamers, water balloons, and water guns, are strictly prohibited from the parade. No throwing candy or items from the moving entries. These items need to be thrown from people walking along the sides so the children do not run out into the street.
