South Lake Tahoe 4th of July parade is back: “Tahoe Strong, A Salute to Our Heroes”

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The City of South Lake Tahoe has announced the return of the 4th of July Parade for 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted many community events, the Parade being one of them, which resulted in a two-year hiatus. In addition to bringing back the parade this year, the City has created a theme for the event: “Tahoe Strong, A Salute to Our Heroes.”

Also new this year will be the 'Best of the Parade' awards. A judging panel will score all parade entries, and trophies will be awarded for the following categories:

Best Float Entry

Entries will be judged on the use of parade theme, overall appearance, originality and creativity, use of music/sound, and crowd appeal.

Individuals, businesses, sports groups, philanthropy groups, schools, and others are all invited to participate. Float entries are highly encouraged. To sign up, visit https://forms.gle/d2oX7TqHrWG9qpr87. For more information on the parade logistics, visit https://www.cityofslt.us/875/4th-of-July-Parade.
