The Eugene Celebration Parade represents the best of Eugene in all its diversity. Not without controversy, this irreverent collection of left- and right, alternative and traditional, new age and conservative never fails to delight, entertain, stimulate and provoke the dialogue and interactions that define our community. Ever on the edge of appropriately behaved, Celebration Parade participants are eager to share their own particular ideology for the enjoyment of the community and their fellow citizens.
The parade route (stretching 1.2 miles) is designed with public safety and traffic control in mind as well as to bring the audience to the heart of downtown Eugene and the Eugene Celebration.
This year the theme is Raise The Roof. The Willamette Valley Greyhound Lovers will again be walking in the parade. We are thinking positive that it will be bright and sunny.. (I have talked to the sun gods and they have assured me that it will NOT rain on our parade... WaHoo!!) so don those tutus, ties, and /or bling and join us. The greyhounds are the hit of the parade enjoy admiring looks, much clapping, ooohs & aaahs and pats from as many people as possible.
The parade is on Saturday morning, August 28th and starts at 10 AM. I don’t know the details yet about where we are going to be staged or what time we need to be there. I will send out more information as soon as I get them.
Lets make a huge Splash in the parade! See you all there.
