Parades are some of the best family fun in the summer. They’re free, you get candy, and it doesn’t take a lot of effort to show up and cheer. Bring a blanket or a chair – oh, and some pillowcases for all the tootsie rolls you’ll be collecting. We add parades as we learn about them, so check back often.

Thank you, Kari. We look forward to this parade to close out summer parade season each year.
The parade of boats at Centennial Lakes Park is June 9th in 2024, followed by a Sousa Band that evening.
Thank you for that update, Brandy. I’ve added the information to the article.
Thanks a lot for sharing this with all folks. Wondering if know if chairs can be set up the night before the Delano 4th of July parade to save you a spot for the parade?
Hi Debra. We’ve been told that Sunrise is the earliest the city will allow seats out. Apparently, spots fill fast. I think most cities around this area restrict setting up chairs prior to the day of the parade.
How can be a part of the parades with my company?
Hi Cory:
