Homecoming Parade and Bison Bash

Applications and Parade Requirements

We have a limited number of spaces in the parade and all applications will be collected on a first-come, first-served basis in each of the categories (business/community, student organizations, NDSU departments). To apply, please download the correct application and review the requirements.

Entry forms are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 6.

If you have any questions, please contact Tryston Simek at tryston.simek@ndsu.edu.

• NDSU organization/department application
• Parade guidelines

Pay Online

All business/community floats need to pay the parade application fee online. Cash and checks will not be accepted.

Please note: A parade application form must be submitted to the Student Activities Office or by email to tryston.simek@ndsu.edu. Payment online does not guarantee a spot in the parade. All entries are complete when both payment and entry form are collected. Spots will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis. If your float is waitlisted and we are unable to provide you with a spot in the parade, your account will be refunded.

Political Official/Candidates

Candidates who are running for a congressional, state-elected, state legislature or city/county office are allowed to submit as an independent parade entry and are responsible for the application fee. Student organization sponsorship is no longer required for political entrants.
 
No floats will be accepted that pertain to specific ballot measures.
