In order to help protect the health and safety of our neighbors, we have made some updates to the 2021 Freedom Parade format.
Instead of a 10 am start time, we are going to have a rolling start from 10 am to 11 am. People will begin walking as soon as they arrive. Please arrive at the time you feel the most comfortable. We will be asking people to walk within their own families and maintain social distance along the parade route.
Other healthy and safety measures include:
- Refreshments at the end of the parade will be pre-packaged and ready to grab and go. Participants are asked to continue their celebrations at a distance after finishing the parade.
- The judges will approach those they would like to give awards to and record their contact information. Awards will be announced via Facebook and email and the prizes will be delivered to the winners.
- In accordance with CDC guidelines, we ask unvaccinated people to please wear a mask. Parents may use their discretion as to whether or not their children should also wear a mask.
If you would like to participate from a distance, feel free to bring a chair and sit along the parade route to cheer on walkers! It’s also okay if you decide to stay home and remain apart from others.
Please stay home if you are sick or have been near someone who thinks they may have or have been exposed to COVID-19.
