For a parade, the mascot must be visible from a distance and comfortable to wear for a long time. A custom suit lets you set colours, accessories and ventilation.
Why have a mascot in a parade?
A parade stretches over several streets and the crowd sees each group for only a few seconds. A mascot catches the eye, opens or closes the procession and gives children lining the pavements a rallying point. It goes as well with a community float as with a marching band, a school or a town council, and its big gestures read easily from a distance, even over loud music.
Tips for marching in a parade
- Choose bright colours and a character with an easily identifiable profile, as the crowd sees you from the side and on the move.
- Organise relays along the route and provide water and a shaded spot, as continuous walking wears the wearer out.
- Place two companions, in front and behind, to keep a distance from floats, vehicles and spectators who come too close.
- Wear stable shoes and check the head's field of vision before setting off, especially for stepping down from kerbs.
Adapting the mascot to the parade
A mascot is made to measure: you choose the colours, logo or text, and the accessories from the product page. For a long route, consider the fan and the cooling vest. A 2D sketch and an approval proof are available before manufacture.
