Starlight Parade is one of our most popular events every year, and it's what a lot of people in Oregon recognize us from. It's a fun parade, a great chance to get our groups in front of thousands of people, and a really unique experience! The parade is a great event to come out and meet many members of Cloud City Garrison and Kashyyyk Base and always needs many spotters.
NORMAL EVENT STUFFWHAT: Starlight Parade
WHERE: Our usual spot is a parking lot at the corner of Couch and Broadway.
DATE: Saturday, May 31
TIMES: Streets close early, so we suggest you arrive before 5:00 p.m. We meet across from the Park blocks, so we'll likely set up shop there to hang out until it's time to get suited up. The parade does not begin until it's dark out. It's not unusual to be in costume in the staging area and then marching from 8:00-11:00 p.m. or later. Expect a long, fun evening!
PARKING: Parking in the pay lot costs about $5. This will be confirmed and updated as we get closer.
OTHER DETAILS•All parade participants must be at least 12 years old.
•The parade route is about 2 miles long. Pace is a relatively fast walk.
• Water will be available before and after the parade, but we should try to limit drinking water while on the parade route.
•Food is not readily available near our staging area. Bring food with you and be sure to eat it so you have energy to complete the parade route.
•We'll post as soon as we have details about our placement in the parade (our order #).
•Wear comfortable clothes and shoes to participate in the walk.
•We will be signing a liability waiver on behalf of all participants. It's your responsibility to read and understand it, it can be found on the application:
