Be a Parade Participant

Rochesterfest will celebrate its 41st year during the June 22-30, 2024 festival. Our theme for Rochesterfest 2024 is “Live Your Dream”.

The Rochesterfest 2024 Grand Parade will use a similar route as in 2023, near Soldiers Field Memorial Park and the surrounding neighborhood.

The Grand Parade will take place on Saturday, June 29th, 2024 at 2pm. The Rochesterfest Parade Committee is now accepting parade applications. If interested, please complete and return a copy of the application form by March 20.

Please remember that sending in an application does not guarantee a spot in the parade. Sometimes we receive more entries than we have space in the parade, but we try our best to accommodate as many applications as possible. On the application, describe your entry…what will it look like? The decision of our parade committee is based in part on the entertainment value of your unit. You will be notified about your participation status by May 20th.

Thank you for your interest and support for Rochesterfest – Celebration of a City!
