Independence Day Parade

🎉 Get Ready for the Independence Day Parade! 🎉
We’re rolling out the red, white, and BOOM this year — and it’s all thanks to our incredible sponsors and parade participants who make it such a crowd favorite!

A big thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, KSMQ Public Television, for helping us bring this celebration to life!

We’ve got some show-stopping entries this year, including the Austin High School Marching Band, the Osman Shrine Oriental Band, the ever-popular Lions Go Carts, and the Austin Community Band. And leading the way as our Grand Marshal is none other than Paul Sween from Adams, Rizzi & Sween.

We also want to give a special shout-out to our entry sponsors:

• 🐉 The Rochester Shrine Unit Dragon – sponsored by eXp Realty, Land Home Financial Services, and Near North Title Group

• 🎶 The Albert Lea High School Marching Band – sponsored by The Heichel Team

• 🥁 The Southland High School Drumline – sponsored by Hormel Foods Austin Plant

Our Gold Sponsors deserve a standing ovation, too:
Adams, Rizzi & Sween, Allweather Roof, and Edward Jones – thank you for your support!

📣 Don’t forget — the parade kicks off at 11:00 a.m., with a special Facebook Live launch featuring Joe Bower and Mayor Steve King. Tune in and then find your spot along the route for this year’s patriotic fun!
