To the esteemed City of La Quinta,
La Quinta High School is looking forward to holding our annual Homecoming Parade. The
route will run through the heart of Old Town. Parade participants plan to line up at 5 PM in front
of the library. We would like to hold our parade on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, beginning at
5.30 pm and finishing at about 6:30 pm.
La Quintal High School will collaborate with Tops N' Barricades to secure barricades and
signage for traffic control to ensure the safety of the parade performers and guests. We estimate
that there will be about 500 guests in attendance.
La Quinta High School will provide a traffic control plan and all other permit requests. We will
be mindful of the noise level. The sounds will be minimal, with the loudest sounds corning from
hand performers. We will also use some portable speakers, but they are mild and do not put out
disruptive or long-r urged sounds.
e will be reaching out to La Quints schools and community organizations to participate in this
event. Participants from various stakeholders will be a strong representation of this great city.
Sincerely,
Oran Jackson, Ed.D.
