Simon, a global retail real estate company, has announced that The Falls is accepting applications to participate in the 19th annual Miracle on 136th Street Parade on Saturday, Nov. 21.
The parade, which will be led by a soon-to-beannounced grand marshal, offers unit applicants the opportunity to get in the holiday spirit and continue in the tradition of marching through the perimeter of The Falls.
Applicants can choose to design their own floats, decorate a vehicle, or enter a group to march the parade route. Dance, cheer, cultural and musical groups are all welcome to show off their spirit as they march the parade route in front of thousands of spectators.
Corporations and small businesses also are welcome to submit a parade application. There are sponsorship packages available for companies to sponsor a float and display tent.
The deadline to submit applications is Friday, Sept. 25, at 5 p.m., and The Falls will limit the number of participants to 30, on a first-come, first-serve basis. Participant applications can be found by clicking the Applications link.
“As we kick off the holiday season, Miracle on 136th Street Parade is truly a festive and unforgettable experience for all involved,” said Lourdes Menendez, director of marketing and business development at The Falls. “The parade is a great opportunity for local organizations to highlight their services and proudly showcase their hard work in front of the Miami community.”
