DETAILS UPDATE:
PARADE STAGING: Staging begins at 9am at Lake Garden Court (off Iron Mountain Blvd.). All parade participants, including vehicles and floats, must enter Parade Staging area from Country Club Road. Police will be assisting with entry. Participants may turn left or right from Country Club to enter. Exit will be via Chandler Road. See attached map for details.
PARADE PARKING: We will be reserving a parking space for you at Christ Episcopal Church (located at 1060 Chandler Road). Parking can be a challenge, so I recommend having participants park at the Adult Community Center, which is at 505 G Avenue and carpooling over to Christ Church for your reserved space OR dropping participants off at Parade Staging a noted below.
CHECK-IN: When you arrive at the staging location, please check-in with staff at the Parade Registration Canopy. You will be directed to your placement. If you are dropping off participants, please pull into the designated Parade Participant Unloading Zone along the east side of Iron Mtn. Blvd (see attached map). Please do not unload participants prior to entering this area as it will hinder traffic.
PARADE ROUTE: The parade begins at 10am SHARP. It will be led by a Lake Oswego Police Vehicle. Participants will travel from Lake Garden Court onto Iron Mountain Blvd and then proceed from Chandler to 10th Street and continue onto ‘A’ Avenue. The parade concludes at Millennium Plaza Park. Pedestrians will exit the parade on Evergreen Road and disperse into the Millennium Plaza Park. Vehicles/floats will turn right on Evergreen Road and exit via Evergreen.
CANDY: New this year: Candy cannot be tossed or thrown from vehicles. Candy must gently be TOSSED by walkers alongside the vehicle, so it lands on the street in front of spectators and away from the path of vehicles. Please do not have young children throw candy that will not reach the curb. Please consider tossing candy that will not melt.
STAR SPANGLED CELEBRATION (10:30am-1:30pm): Numerous festivities will be taking place at Millennium Plaza Park after the conclusion of the parade. Enjoy the fun that includes live music from Design Band, a pie eating contest (be sure to enter!), face painting, balloon animals and more! Food and goodies will be available for purchase from Romero’s Kitchen, Verde Cocina, NOLA Doughnuts, Klassic Kettlecorn, Kona Ice and Rose and Lincoln Juicery.

Does that mean there's just one reserved parking spot for the entire Star Wars group?
-
No. That's just where you go to park is all.

Bad news, Joy and I are going to be able to make it. I forgot I had work today until 2:30.

I arrived early to check out the parking situation. The parking lot at the church (1060 Chandler Road) is small and there are some assigned parking spots; we have one for SWO. I parked in a general spot and currently there’s still a number of open spots, but I wouldn’t arrive last minute and expect to have somewhere easy to park.

I'm on my way

My wife can stand in as a spotter. She hasn't done it before but I put her in one of my 501st shirts and we're heading down

Do not follow the parade drop off signs to get to the parking area at the church. The SWO reserved spot is still open.
