What is the theme of the 2025 4th of July parade?
This year's theme is "Red, White & Blue: Electric Avenue," an 80s-inspired celebration! Both spectators and parade participants are encouraged to embrace the 80s spirit! Think neon colors, patriotic attire, leg warmers, headbands, and anything that sparkles!

The parade route runs along Agate Avenue (Main Street) from 5th Avenue through Zero Street, where it turns off of Main Street and ends at Polhamus Park.
What time should I arrive for the parade?
The parade kicks off at 11 AM, but plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early (or even earlier to get your preferred spot). Highway 40 will close approximately 30 minutes prior to the parade start with bypasses in place on Park Lane and 6th Avenue.

Are pets allowed at the parade?
Leashed pets are welcome at the parade, but keep in mind that crowds, sirens, hot concrete and loud music can be a bit overwhelming. If you choose to bring a pet, please keep them leashed, close, hydrated and clean up after them.
