The Melbourne Light Parade has been in existence since 1993. Last year over 13,000 spectators watched the fun and excitement of the parade. We collected an estimated 1100 lbs. of food and over 725 toys for residents of Brevard County. More than 3000 people participated in this 2.5-mile parade. From start to finish, the parade takes 2-3 hours to complete.

We would like to say a special thank you to some of our previous sponsors 

The continued dedication and the kind, ongoing generosity of our sponsors and people like you are what make this parade possible each year.  Let us work together to make the Melbourne Light Parade a tradition not to be missed by all of Brevard County.

We encourage businesses to sponsor their favorite non-profit organization or club. This good-will advertising puts your company in a favorable light in the community and allows them to know your services are available.

We have 3 levels of sponsorship. We are looking for sponsors to help underwrite the day’s activities, advertising, prizes and operating supplies.

We are a 501(c) 3 organization and is registered with the Agriculture and Consumer Services for soliciting.

 

FEES:  Each non-profit parade participant will be asked to donate two unwrapped toys & two non-perishable food items as their "entrance Fee".  Commercial entrants, (that are not sponsoring a non-profit organization), will be required to pay a $50 "entrance Fee".  All the toys and food donated will solely stay in Brevard County.  We also collect from the spectators as well.  

The committee members are on a total volunteer basis, (that is all monies donated go to the parade and not the committee).  We have worked very hard to bring the true spirit of the Holiday Season to the families of Brevard County.  Last year 700+ toys and 1000+ lbs of food were collected though the parade and given to families in Brevard County. These amounts are much too low for 95 units that participated and for the 13,000 spectators present.  So please do you best this year to help.
