Riverfest Parade
Download Parade Registration Form
New Parade Route! The Parade in 2008 will start on 3rd Street at the Legion Club and head East to Walnut Street. Then it will take a right on Walnut Street and head South until 6th Street. The Parade will then take a right on 6th Street and head West to Minnesota Street where it takes a left and ends near the K-Mart. The parade will no longer cross Highway 25.

The Sons of the American Legion will be passing out flags before the parade and accepting donations to the foodshelf.

This year we are asking that both those riding in the parade and those attending the parade not spray water of any kind. We have had too many complaints and we risk losing parade participations if we continue to have water guns in the parade. We ask all parade attendees to help police this request.

We would like to have parade participates sign up early this year so we can mail them a notification of where they will line up in the parade. This will hopefully cut down on the confusion at the beginning of the parade and make it easier for everyone riding in the parade. Participates should start lining up at 11:30 with a parade start at 12:30. Late entries are always welcome but because our parade brochure is published several days in advance you may not be listed in the parade brochure if your entry is later then July 3rd, 2008. But come any way and check in across from the American Legion on Elm Street. If you have any questions please feel free to call the Monticello Chamber of Commerce at 763-295-2700 or Mick Maher at 295-5458
