Item 10 - Narrative Letter and PlansSouthlake Carroll Dragon Homecoming Parade Special Use Permit
Request
The SUP is being requested by Carroll Independent School District.
The purpose of the Special Use Permit is to host the Homecoming in partnership with Southlake
Town Square and the City of Southlake.
Prior to 2008 the Homecoming Parade was held in Southlake Town Square.In 2008 the Carroll
Senior High School Student Council made a decision to move the parade to Dragon Stadium to
add a fundraising carnival component and pep rally to the event.Since 2013,the Carroll
Homecoming Parade,Carnival,and Pep Rally have been held in Southlake Town Square,and
has been a great community event,with much positive feedback.
We are asking for approval to renew the SUP to maintain the celebration in Southlake Town
Square on a Wednesday in the fall (September/October),making no logistical changes to the
parade route,carnival set-up,and pep rally set-up from the previous year.We are asking to
reserve/include two rows of parking spaces behind True Fire/Wiliam Sonoma in addition to the
logistical needs from years past to assist with the parade unloading and destaging process.
The 2024 renewal request for the event would include staging of floats in the parking lot north of
the Hilton Hotel,tent/table/chair setup in the Family Park,vendors/sponsor/club participation for
the carnival and parade,a pep rally including a presentation of the Homecoming court,and
teardown/cleanup.
The carnival will give approved high school organizations the opportunity to partner with a
business sponsor to raise funds for the organization (i.e.Belle boosters selling their VIP card,
Football selling trading cards,etc.)in addition to the children’s activities (i.e.face painting,
games,etc.).Sponsorship proceeds will benefit the CSHS Student Council and proceeds
collected at each individual booth will go to the individual student organization or booster club.
We are looking forward to the opportunity to continue the tradition in Southlake Town Square
and bring together Dragon Nation to celebrate our Carroll Dragons.
To accommodate the businesses in town square,we are requesting that street closures are held
to a minimum and are limited to Grand Avenue,Main Street in front of City Hall and Fountain
Place.We respectfully request that Southlake DPS provides safety during the parade by
escorting and managing traffic/intersection closing during the time of the parade and pep rally.
Signage Request –Gazebo banner 15 days prior to event with permit Yard Signs for street
closures.Street closure times to be determined by the Southlake PD.
