ONCE YOU HAVE A WRISTBAND MEET AT THE STAGING LOCATION BETEWEEN 9:00 – 9:10 AM SATURDAY MORNING
North Avenue Presbyterian Church parking lot at the intersection of Peachtree Street NE and North Avenue. The address is 607 Peachtree Street NE.
HARD CUT OFF TIME FOR ENTERING THE STAGING AREA IS 9:40. The parade will not allow anyone in after this point as they prepare to move the parade out of the gates onto the streets.

CONVENTION BADGES: SECURITY WILL BE TIGHTER IN THE STAGING AREA THIS YEAR – PARTICIPANTS MUST HAVE THEIR BADGE AND WRISTBAND VISIBLE *BEFORE* ENTERING THE STAGING AREA. So please make sure you purchase your convention badge and pick it up before Saturday morning. Badges must be visible for the parade. They are not allowing postcards to be shown instead of badges this year.
WALKING TO THE STAGING AREA: Starting from the Marriott Marquis, Atlanta Hilton or Sheraton Atlanta, make your way to Peachtree Street and follow the Hyatt route (I suggest avoiding Courtland Street north of the hotels due to lots of homeless/transients in the area). It’s an 8-9 block walk, depending on what hotel you begin at. The Courtland Street route (which I do not suggest using!) will bring you to the backside of our staging area.
There are two staging entry points for participants at the parking lot gates, one on Peachtree Street and one on Courtland Street. Wristbands and badges are checked and must be visible when you enter.

WATER: The Boy Scouts are providing bottled water in the staging area and at the end of the parade route. Please take only ONE bottle of water to ensure all parade participants can have some water. If possible, bring your own or have a supply waiting for you at the end of the parade.
Please be aware of and appreciate that the church graciously allows us to use their property each year. Take time to make sure you do not leave any personal belongings, trash or other discarded items behind. There are several trash cans in the parking lot – find one of them and use it, please!
THE PARADE
START TIME: 10:00 AM
END TIME: Our group usually ends before 11:00. The last participants usually finish between 11:30 – 11:45
The route is a little over one mile long. There is a slight incline on
Peachtree Street. There is one downhill on Andrew Young International Blvd. The parade ends at the Marriott Marquis on Peachtree Center Avenue.
The CW Atlanta and DCTV are broadcasting us live! Be yourself, do what you’ve always done that makes the parade so incredible. (Do not run toward the cameras or stop and mug the cameras, wave and keep moving!)
At the end of the parade route, marchers will be directed into the Marriott via the front driveway and vehicles will be directed to continue on Peachtree Center Avenue.
Do NOT stop in the block in front of the Marriott, please. Please do not designate the end of the parade area as a meet-up spot for friends. It’s crowded and crazy and we’re trying to get literally thousands of parade participants through the area and off the street.
WEAPONS – non-functional as part of your costume must be peace-bonded by Dragon Con Security BEFORE the parade morning.
No flash pots, explosive devices, fireworks, loaded devices of any kind, or use of open flames
REMEMBER YOUR AUDIENCE – we represent everything that is wonderful about Dragon Con. The crowds that watch and enjoy the parade are filled with children waiting for a glimpse of their favorite characters and heroes. We are the very public face of Dragon Con. Please don’t do or say anything that reflects poorly on yourself or the convention.
We are a POLITICS-FREE ZONE. No campaigning or protesting or demonstrating – ‘real life’ political or social issues – is allowed.
– Small throws/tosses (candy, beads, coins for instance) are permitted as long as do not cause street litter and are placed directly into the hands of the recipients. No random tossing, flinging or otherwise launching into the crowd.
– Fliers/flyer, coupons and/or leaflets, business cards, etc. distribution is NOT permitted under any circumstances. This prohibition extends to any “street teams” that might be working the parade spectators.
– Children 12 years of age and under participating in the parade MUST be accompanied by an adult. We prefer that anyone under the age of 16 be escorted.
-At this time, live animals are prohibited from the parade with the exception of service animals and selected Dragon Con sponsors.
Dragon Con reserves the right to remove anyone and anything from the parade, at any time and without prior notice, deemed offensive, dangerous or otherwise inappropriate for the event.
