Whether you’ve paraded with us before or it’s your first time, we assure you it’s an experience you’ll cherish! Individuals, organizations and companies are all encouraged to apply! Even individual families are encouraged to come show off their patriotic spirit.

Our parade stages an amiable competition between the two towns of Bedford and Bedford Heights, but we’re throwing open the gates to everyone far and wide. If you’ve got a float to showcase, a band to perform, or just some good ol’ patriotic spirit to share, we’d love to have you.

Our procession will cruise from Columbus Road & Washington Street in Bedford, snaking eastwards to Perkins Road, and climax at the grand Bedford Heights City Hall. What a perfect stage to show off your patriotism!
