The parade has no cost for entries. Businesses and community organizations are invited to join – all floats and vehicles are highly encouraged to display the American Flag and patriotic decorations. Military personnel, veterans, police officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel are invited as they are our heroes that served and are serving our country and community.
