Theme Inspiration: “Red, White, and Riverboats”
Here’s the secret to parade stardom: decorating! We love seeing creativity splash across the route—so don’t just drive a vehicle, make it shine. Flags, streamers, balloons, riverboat flair, glitter… go wild (safely, of course)! Even small touches of red, white, and blue bring huge smiles to our crowd. Think of it this way: the more sparkle, the bigger the cheer!

We promise, decorating is more fun than you remember, and your effort makes our parade unforgettable. So grab your friends, fire up your imagination, and let’s make this 250th birthday celebration a spectacle worthy of history.

See you in the spotlight,

The Riverboat Days Parade Committee
