Parade of Nations is Seeking Volunteers

The Parade of Nations planning committee is seeking volunteers to help support this long standing community event. This year, the annual parade will take place on Saturday, September 18 beginning at 11 a.m. in Hancock and crossing the Portage Lift Bridge to the Chamber of Commerce in Houghton. We could not have made it to our 32nd annual parade without supporters who share their time with us each year!

Volunteers are needed to help with tasks before, during, and after the parade, such as flag distribution, carrying banners and flags during the parade, and cleanup after the event. We are also seeking volunteers who have a vehicle they might be willing to drive in the parade or groups who may wish to support others in creating a float. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with your local community and to partake in a one-of-a-kind celebration of unity!

If you are interested in helping to make this year’s parade a success, please fill out this form and a Parade of Nations committee member will be in touch with you about volunteering soon. Please feel free to share this email and registration link with others across the wider Keweenaw community. For more information about the Parade of Nations, you can visit our website.
