Montgomery County, VA Special Events & Permits: Parade Permits (2026)

military and Virginia militia forces. The permit is issued by the governing body, the Board of Supervisors, or its duly authorized agent, and organizers must also follow any other traffic-chapter regulations that apply to the event, such as the funeral-procession rules in Secs 6-10 and 6-11 if the parade shares the road with a procession. Because Sec 6-3 limits Chapter 6 to areas outside incorporated towns, this permit requirement governs parades on county roads in the unincorporated area (Riner, Shawsville, Elliston, Prices Fork, Plum Creek and similar communities); a parade routed through Blacksburg or Christiansburg needs that town's own permit instead.

Chapter 6 does not spell out a separate parade fine, so a violation falls under the general Chapter 6 penalty in Sec 6-1: a fine of not more than one hundred dollars for any chapter violation that has no specific penalty listed. The cross-references at Sec 6-9 point organizers to the licenses and business-regulation provisions of Chapter 5 and the animal-control provisions of Chapter 3, both of which can apply to a parade depending on what the event involves, such as animals in the procession or vendor activity along the route.
