Note: Parade ends at arena
The parade now ends at the Sam Ault Arena, instead of Dawley Drive.
Our float participants have been requesting this for several years. Floats will be given the option to either enter the arena lot through the exit lane, or they can continue down Main Street.
There will be NO PUBLIC PARKING at the arena during the parade.
Shop local at our Vendor Show
Our Vendor Show brings together a variety of local crafters, artisans and other vendors.

Admission is free. We will be accepting monetary or food donations for Community Food Share.
