We are excited to announce this year's Homecoming Parade will take place on September 25th beginning at 5:30 p.m. The theme for this year's parade is Festival of Lights: A Tangled Homecoming! The parade route will run from 16th and Broadway and terminate at North 1st and Broadway a block past Peterson Park.

Please review the following maps and refer to the below guides for parade line-up and route details:

Float Line-Up

Float line up is available in two areas and will be a first come, first serve basis. Please pull Floats into either South half of the YMCA Parking lot, or the new parking lot East of the YMCA.
There is NO official order to the parade so as long as you are in that area you will be entered into the parade.
