Truckee 4th of July Parade: There's No Place Like Home

Truckee Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce that plans are underway for the Annual 4th of July parade. This year’s Parade theme is “There’s No Place Like Home.” This year’s parade participants, both in the parade and on the sidelines, are encouraged to think about what really makes Truckee “Home” and why we wouldn’t want to call home anywhere else. Channel your ruby red slippers and let us know why you love Truckee. 

Truckee's July 4th parade begins at 10:00 a.m. at the west end of town (with staging at Truckee High School), and progresses 1-1/2 miles down Donner Pass Road into historic Truckee, ending around noon. Avid parade spectators put their folding chairs out at their favorite spot right at daybreak so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get the best spot!

PARADE PARTICIPATION

This year we are looking for businesses, clubs, associations, non profits and individuals to make this the best parade yet. Get your group together and create a float that embodies what “There’s No Place Like Home” means to you. Every year parade entries surprise and delight crowds with imagination and creativity. Click here for parade entry application. 

Trophies (and bragging rights) will be given for Best of Show, and a winner in each of our five classifications: Commercial (representing a business), Youth Group (18-years old and younger), Classic Auto, Open (your group doesn’t fit into any other category), and NonProfit.​
