2022 New Rochelle Thanksgiving Parade

Show your New Rochelle Pride at the New Rochelle Thanksgiving Day Parade! Volunteers must be able to walk the entire one-and-a-half-mile length of the parade route.

There are two major roles: Balloon Holders & General Volunteers.

• Balloon Holders
  • This role urgently needs more volunteers!
  • Giant Parade Balloons: these volunteers help carry the giant balloons! No experience necessary, but volunteers must attend a short training and be 14+ to hold a balloon
  • Display Balloons on Sticks: these volunteers help carry the smaller balloons! No experience necessary
• General Volunteers
  • Check-In Table Attendant: help check-in parade marchers and balloon-holders
  • Banner Holders: help carry six banners leading the parade balloons (will walk the 1.5 mile route)
  • Hot Chocolate Distributors: help with setting up a hot chocolate table and distributing hot chocolate to marchers
  • Clean Up: help pick up any trash or litter left behind by marchers, take down tents and tables, and other miscellaneous tasks
  • Information Volunteers: help pass along information about the parade

Sign up for only ONE role below! If you signed up for both, you will automatically be removed from the General Volunteers list and placed as a Balloon Holder since that is the more urgent need.
