Seasons Greetings Clayton Christmas Parade past participants, spectators and Clayton area residents

The Clayton Rotary Club and The Town of Clayton are working to re-emphasize to all parade participants the long-established set of safety measures for the Clayton Christmas Parade slated for Saturday, December 10th. As with any special event, safety is the Town’s number one priority. Incident action plans are in place and are constantly being adjusted to ensure the safest environment possible. The Clayton Police Department will be verifying vehicles participating in the parade have a current registration and that all drivers have a valid operator’s license and are at least 18 years of age. As a reminder, parade participants are not permitted to throw candy, favors, or other materials from floats or vehicles. These items may be passed out by participants walking on the street accompanying the floats.
