2021 INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE

Sunday, July 4th 3:00 PM

Theme: Stars, Stripes and Squirtguns

Once again the Watertown Chamber of Commerce is hosting our annual parade in Watertown in honor of Independence Day, the Fourth of July! We are quickly becoming known for our tradition of ‘getting wet’ and we will continue again this year! Bring your squirt guns because it’s time for "Stars, Stripes and Squirt Guns"!

Again this year there will be a NO-squirt zone. At the end of the parade we will have a section of participants who do NOT wish to get wet, and will NOT be carrying any squirt guns or water. While we all enjoy getting a little wet on a hot July afternoon, there are some who can not, however they do wish to participate and honor our Independence Day tradition. If you would like to enter the parade and NOT get wet there is a section on the entry form to indicate this.

ABSOLUTELY NO WATER BALLOONS ALLOWED!

You can download a PDF copy of the application below or pick one up at Wilson Bank or Watertown-Wilson County Public Library on the square. (Please make sure your entry is received no later than Friday, July 2nd).
