FAQ

Proud to be the 'cleanest parade in the world'! We implore all our participants to keep our green theme at the forefront and make sure all trash is put in the proper receptacles. Our friends from Reef Relief will be IN the parade pushing trash bins to help make sure none of our refuse ends up in the Refuge!
