Forms & Setup Guides
Everything you need to get your parade set up — complete these forms early and our team will build your platform from the details you provide.
⏱ About 4 min readNew Event Form
Submit this form at the beginning of each new parade year. It tells us everything we need to set up your event — dates, parade name, market area, domain, and key preferences. Fill it out as early as possible so your setup is ready well before ticket sales open.
Providing your event details early ensures your needs are met before launch. The more lead time we have, the smoother your setup experience will be.
Ticketing Setup Form
This form configures your ticketing — payment processor setup, ticket types, pricing, dates, and any demographic questions you want to ask buyers at checkout. Complete this form before you need tickets to go live.
You'll need your Stripe or Authorize.net account information ready before filling out this form. If you don't have a payment processor set up yet, see the Ticketing guide for instructions.
Website Information Form
This form provides the content for your parade website — sponsor logos, about text, parade history, social links, and any other pages you want included. Submit it once when you first launch, and again each year if details change.
Builder Self-Entry Guide
Share this guide with your builders so they can update their own home information directly — photos, descriptions, floor plans, and subcontractors. Reduces the coordination burden on your team and gives builders ownership of their listing.
Builder Login Help
Builder login accounts are created automatically when you add a builder in the Web Manager. You set the password and share it with your builder — they don't need to register separately.
ParadeSmart Docs
The ParadeSmart Docs site hosts additional tutorials and blog-style guides covering specific features and updates to the platform.
