Calling all Patriots!
Greetings Parade Goers! Who doesn't love a parade! Come out and bring your whole family to participate in the Ypsilanti 4th of July Parade! Washtenaw Republicans are parade postion #57, staging on the north side of Cross Street near Oakwood. Below you will see in the parade committee instructions that you can park at Shadford Field near Estabrook Elementary, or if you come in from the south you may find parking on the side streets leading up to cross. We plan to have a truck and trailer, so that those unable to walk the distance to Depot Town can ride. We will be there at 9:30 to decorate the vehicles.
*** At this writing we still need a good looking towing vehicle and a trailer or wagon suitable for riders. If you can assist with these call me or Greg Marquis asap. 734-660-7367 or 734-223-2459 ****
For those that want to show your colors and patriotism and have a good time, be at location 57 between 9:30 and 10:30 am on July 4th. You are encoraged to wear your patriotic gear, bring candy to hand out, bring small flags for waving and bring a smile!
There is a form going up on the web site at www.wash-gop.com where you can let us know you are coming. But regardless show up and have fun!
God Bless America!

Parade Day Pointers
- Have Fun!!!
- Try to avoid gaps, we would like a seamless parade, please do your best to not leave big gaps between the group in front of you or behind you. You can do this by either speeding up or slowing down your pace on the parade route
- If you are handing out any materials or candy please remember not to throw things, please place it in the person's hand for safety reasons.
- Please be patient with Parade volunteers there is just a handful of us, we will do our best to assist you.
- Please bring water it gets so hot and we want everyone to stay hydrated and to be safe.
PLEASE DO NOT THROW CANDY !!! you can hand out candy to viewers, this is a safety issue and a liability for both the parade and your organization. If caught you will loose your eligibility to be in the parade.
Parking
No vehicles can be parked in the parade line up unless they are in the parade. Participants can park in the Shafford Field parking lot in between Estabrook and Ypsilanti Community High, Some groups have some people park at the beginning of the parade route and other at the end and then bus each other back to the top.
Weather
Forecast as of right now for Thursday July 4th is Partly Cloudy in the High of 89. chance of Thunderstorms in the afternoon. Please dress for the weather, this is a rain or shine event.
We can wait to see everyone and your creative floats!! Remember there are 1st and 2nd Prize Trophies for Best Band, Best Variety and Best Float, And Best Commemorative Float .
Again thank you for being apart of the longest running parade in Michigan and helping carry on this great tradition. We have a lot of great groups and organizations this year, this is going to be a great time!
