What makes you excited about the 4th of July? Before the fireworks in the evening we hold a parade that is a celebration of all things Independence Day! Join us in the parade to show off your creativity and July 4th spirit! Members of the community are invited to submit parade entries, (costumed characters, performances, floats, etc.) displaying their creativity and festive family fun.
There is no charge for costumed characters and entertainers to walk in the parade. Entry fees for floats, community groups and businesses range from $50 – $530.
Disclaimer: While the parade applauds all forms of free expression, it is not a political rally or a commercial opportunity. The focus here is family friendly holiday fun; all entries should exhibit creativity and ingenuity with humor and the spirit of the season. No entries will be permitted that are solely commercial/marketing presentations - the goal is to have all entries decorated for 4th of July or in Red, White and Blue themed costume.
