How would you like to help run the show? We have many openings for volunteer work that we need to fill. Check the openings list to find available time slots and positions and sign up to be part of the fun.

Grand Parade

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

Does your dog crave attention? What better way to stroke their ego while getting them some exercise than letting them participate in a 4-legged parade?

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 being center of attention in a parade, donations are always appreciated and help keep this event alive year after year!
