We are looking for anyone in the community and surrounding areas who has something fun to offer the crowds. From floats, to marching bands, to wacky vehicles, show us what you can do!
Dog Parade & Kid's Parade
Does your dog look good in a costume? Do your children love being the center of attention? What better way to stroke their egos while getting them some exercise than letting them participate in a parade!? No registration necessary. Stay tuned for meet-up times and location.
Car Show
Is your classic car drool-worthy? Put a fresh coat of wax on it and bring it out for the community to appreciate!
Donate
If you want to be involved but don’t feel like vending or having all eyes on you in a parade, donations are always very much appreciated and help keep this event alive year after year!
