This year’s parade features the theme “We are Conquerors by Faith”. and will kick off on Broad Street at 11:30 am, the parade will take an immediate left onto Front Street, travel on in front of the Front Street Plaza stage, then take a right onto Olive Street at the railcar. The parade will then continue up Olive Street and merge into Stateline Avenue. The parade will take an immediate right onto 4th Street and continue to Hazel where the parade will turn right and continue back and end at the American Legion Building.
Sponsored by Bridging the Gaps of Arkansas, we are hoping to see a large turnout of spectators, and there is still time for your civic group or organization, church groups, or clubs to get involved as a participant.
