Check in/ arrival
In general, check-in for the march will be located on the front lawn of MacDonough School. Only one member of your group should check in at MacDonough School upon your arrival, no need to have your entire group walk over to the check in area!
Marchers should arrive to their staging area between 12 and 12:30 p.m.
The march will begin at 1:00 p.m. SHARP, so don’t be late!!!
Streets will be congested leading up to and surrounding the march lineup, so plan to arrive/ be dropped off earlier than you would anticipate. High Street is the main street of travel for the entire area surrounding the march, so expect delays.

General event reminders
The march is about ¾ of a mile long, so please wear comfortable shoes and bring water/ sunscreen!!!
A little reminder: if you are passing out candy, giveaways, etc. please pass them to folks along the street- do not toss from the middle of the street. We have found that when marchers throw candy/ goodies to the spectators it unintentionally encourages people to begin crowding the street creating a funnel, and we would hate for someone to get hurt collecting candy!
Portable toilets will be located in the back parking lot of MacDonough School. We will have standard and accessible portable toilets in place.
RSVP on the forums and sign up on the google doc for coordination please.
