Festa 2026 Parade Participation Form

The U.P.S.E.S. Parade Participation Form is now open for the 116th Annual Festa do Espírito Santo.
This beloved community tradition brings together families, children, and friends to celebrate Portuguese heritage
through music, culture, and faith. Each year’s parade is a chance to honor our history and create lasting memories —
and we’re thrilled to welcome new and returning participants.

• A new Parade Participation Form must be submitted every year. Prior participation does not guarantee placement.
• Please complete one form per family, listing each child’s name, age, and details carefully to help us plan efficiently.
• Double-check each participant’s outfit and shoe size to prevent delays during parade preparations.
• Forms must be submitted for all children participating — whether walking individually or as part of a group.
• Deadline: All forms must be submitted by February 1, 2026. Late submissions may not be guaranteed placement.
• We deeply appreciate our community’s early participation and support. By completing this form promptly,
  you help our volunteers organize a smooth, joyful, and memorable parade for everyone involved.
