A: Those who participate in the Junior Parade fall into several categories: amateur floats, civic association floats, scout floats, marching bands, wagons, strollers, trikes and bikes, walking groups, walking families & individuals, and commercial groups. If your family falls into one of these categories fill out an application and return it to the Edison Festival of Light office. This will qualify you and your family to participate in the Junior Parade. Q: How does my child enter the Junior Race? A: Register your child at one of our registration days or download a registration form from our website under Applications and mail it in to the festival office. Q: Is the festival the same thing as the Pageant? A: No. In 1988 the name of the event was changed from the Edison Pageant of Light to the Edison Festival of Light. The festival became an incorporated non-profit organization to accommodate for the growing number of events and limited volunteer resources. Now the Edison Festival is staffed and event coordination work goes on year round. The board of directors does still play a vital role in the planning process. Q: Where's the best place to sit to see the Parade? A: There are many great places to view the Grand Parade. If you would like reserved seating you can purchase Stadium Show tickets or Street Seat tickets. At the Stadium Show you can enjoy live entertainment until the entrance of the entire Grand Parade and to end the night a spectacular fireworks show. Street Seat tickets are sold by local non-profit groups and set up all along the parade route. A list of participating organizations will be located here at the website under Tickets as the time approaches. Otherwise arrive early with your chairs and blankets and pick a great spot by consulting the parade route map here at the website under About Us/General Information.
