Dominion Energy Christmas Parade Volunteer Job Descriptions

Day of the Parade Logistics 

For Volunteers and Participants in the Dominion Energy Christmas Parade, we offer two ways to get to the Parade:

1. Volunteers planning to walk in the parade: If you plan to walk in the parade, we recommend that you park your car at the end of the parade route at the VCU I-Deck (900 N. 7th Street). A shuttle bus will bring you to the beginning of the parade. The shuttle bus starts at 7 a.m. and ends at 10 a.m. You will walk the parade and finish, arriving at your car.

2. Parade Participants being dropped off from a car: The main participant drop-off is now located on the corner of Leigh Street & DMV Drive. Every car must have a parade issued hang tag distributed before parade day to enter this area. You can access the drop-off point by turning on Leigh Street from Arthur Ashe Blvd. We recommend that you use this spot if you have young children or individuals needing a ride at the end of the parade. We do not run a shuttle service at the end of the parade. You are responsible for picking up your parade participant at the end of the parade.

Parade spectator parking is on a first-come, first-serve basis and is available from normal city parking.
