Fourth of July Parade Entries Now Accepted
The 35th Sewanee Fourth of July theme this year is “MASK-CAR-ADE: Mardi Gras.” Parade entries are now being accepted.
The parade begins at 2 p.m., Sunday, July 4, with line-up on Georgia Avenue starting at noon and ending at 1 p.m. Judges will decide on trophies for best float, best decorated vehicle, and best horse; and blue ribbons for best decorated bicycle, best banner and best costume. The parade will end in downtown Sewanee.
There are so many creative ways to strut your stuff down University Avenue ranging from traditional and elaborate to simple, elegant, memorable and bizarre.
If you’re interested in showing how your organization keeps alive the American spirit of opportunity and hope for all, fill out and submit an entry form by June 30. For more information and to submit an entry, visit the Event Registration tab on the website <http://www.sewanee4thofjuly.or...;.
