In keeping with the event returning to the Parker Days name, the theme of this years parade is: Colorado Heritage

Awards will be given based on this theme in at least the following catagories:

• Judges Favorite
• Best Interpretation of Theme

Please Note: Because of construction activities near Town Hall, the parade route has changed. Staging will take place at the RTD lot on Longs Way and along S. Park Glenn Way. From staging, the parade will proceed south on Longs Way to Victorian Drive and head east on Victorian to Main Street, turning right and heading west along Main Street to the west end of Victorian. The parade will then proceed north on Victorian, back to Longs Way returning to the RTD lot.

Participation Fees:

Participation fees are in addition to the $10 non-refundable application fee. Based on prior years experience, all applicants are normally allowed to particpate, so we will be requesting that you pay your particpation fee at this time. In the unlikely event an applicant is denied participation, the participation fee will be refunded. If your group is unable to pay any fee required by credit card, please contact the event coordinator via email at events@parkerdays.org and you will be sent instructions on how to complete your online application and pay by check.

For groups that have any combination of marchers or vehicles that includes a float, please use the float pricing.

Insurance Information:

All entrants with Wheels or Hooves are strongly encouraged to check and make sure that they have general liability insurance appropriate for participation in a parade. At this point, the Parker Chamber of Commerce does not require proof of general liability insurance, however, that could change and parade entrants will be notified of any requirements in that event.
