When and where is the parade
this year?
The Palisades 43rd
Annual July 4th Parade & Picnic will take place ... Friday, July
4th (in case there was any doubt).
Same as every year
... parade starts at 11:00am at the corner of Whitehaven Pkwy NW and
MacArthur Blvd. and ends at the Palisades Recreation Center on Sherier
Place NW.
Can I join the parade?
If you would like
to participate in the parade, it's easy! Just line up starting at 10:15am
on Whitehaven Pkwy. No registration is necessary. We encourage all marchers
to WALK and make it FUN! Too many cars make for a boring parade. Don't
forget, there will be parade prizes, so start brainstorming now!!
What happens afterwards?
Free picnic following
the parade at the Palisades Rec Center with hot dogs, juice, moon bounces,
pony rides and live music under a big tent!
How can I help?
Volunteers
are needed to help make this event a success. Parade
marshals are needed to help control traffic and to keep the
parade moving along. Contact palisadesdc@hotmail.com.
T-shirt sales people are also needed.
Don't forget, those sales help finance the parade. Contact Maria
Garcia at maria2270@comcast.net
to get a copy of the schedule of sales times/locations.
Volunteers
are also needed at the picnic. Set up tables
at 9:30am; cut the watermelon at
10:30 (bring your own knife!) and the highly-coveted clean
up duty at 2:30. Contact Linda Starke at lstarke@starpower.net
to sign up. Show your civic pride and help!!!!
T-shirts!
