Parade Registration
The City of Montrose will be holding its annual 4th of July parade this year using the theme Heroes Among Us. Entries in this parade will not be judged, but we encourage everyone to decorate their floats to show off the heroes in their lives and the community.
Thank you to everyone who has signed up to be a part of this parade. Due to limited space this year, our registration is capped at 50 participants, and we no longer have space in the parade for other groups. All groups who have already registered need to comply with the waiver process prior to July 4, otherwise they will be turned away at the gate. If you have any questions, please contact the community event coordinator via email ( tceniceros@cityofmontrose.org) or by telephone at 970-252-4881.
