Time running out to sign up for Saturday’s Easter parade

New Albany Main Street is still looking for entrants in the city’s first Easter parade planned for this Saturday.

Main Street and The Union County Library are planning the Easter parade and egg hunt as a family fun event for the whole community.

As of earlier this week, only a few entrants had signed up, possibly because this is a new event.

Both will be Saturday, March 27, with the parade lineup at 9 a.m. and a start time of 9:30. The egg hunt will be at 10. The hunt and parade start will be at the Union County Courthouse. The parade theme will be “A Country Easter Parade.”

Organizers are welcoming floats, bicycles, tractors, pageant winners, homecoming courts, horses, wagons, and “whatever else inspires you to welcome spring to the Best Southern Small Town!”

Applications will be taken through today, along with a $5 entry fee. Details for parade participants will be shared once the application is complete and $5 fee is paid.

Online applications are available by clicking HERE. Paper applications are available at the Union County Library and Main Street office.

You can pay with cash or check (made out to NA Main Street) at the Main Street office or the library. Or pay online at newalbanymainstreet.com/online-store/Easter-Parade-Fee-p304456977. There is a $1 SQUARE use fee.

Organizers stress that this is a fun, family friendly parade.

Call the library or Main Street for more details if needed.
