If you wish to
be in the parade,
you must print out this
Application Form
and mail it to us at the
address shown above.
Sorry, US postal mail is the ONLY way for you to send us your parade
application, and it’s the only way for you to get in the parade.
Note #1: We LIMIT the total number of parade entries.
Why? So the
parade doesn't last too long. Community as well as parade participant feedback
we've received over the years tells us this.
Last year our total was
around 75 - 80. We aim for a parade where the last entry reaches the end of
the route by no later than 4 pm.
Note #2: We reserve the
right to reject parade entries that we believe to be blatantly inappropriate or
simply blatant business advertising.
Why? The purpose of this July 4th parade is a FAMILY friendly
event that honors our community and nation's HERITAGE and FREEDOM.

Once you've
sent in your Parade Application :
History tells us the
following questions will probably be on your mind.
|
* How will I know
if my parade application has been received?
* How will I know if my application has been approved?
* How will I know where I am in the parade order?
* I mailed in my application and I haven't heard anything...? |
You will most likely NOT be
"hearing anything" from us, because
this next section is intended to hopefully answer those questions.
And it should be
updated on almost a daily basis.
If you have further questions, then
please send an email.

Trivia Question :
True or False?
"The Marquette parade and fireworks are either hosted, run, put on, or funded by
local government, i.e. the City of Marquette"
Answer :
False.
The parade and fireworks (and this website) are put on solely by the
efforts of many volunteers, and monies in the form of donations and to a lesser
extent the parade entry fees. Please consider helping us out so we can provide
you with a very enjoyable parade and spectacular fireworks.
