Mandan Main Street is back to normal once again, the flags are still flying for a few more days, and another unforgettable Mandan Independence Day Parade is in the books.

Thank you to everyone who lined the streets, waved the American flag, cheered on our participants, and helped celebrate America 250 with us. A special thank you to the City of Mandan, our parade participants, volunteers, sponsors, Mandan Public Works, Mandan PD, and Mandan Fire Department who make this incredible tradition possible year after year.

For nearly a century and a half, the Mandan Independence Day Parade has brought our community together, and we're honored to help continue that tradition.

As you look through these photos, we hope they bring back wonderful memories of a truly special day.

Thank you for celebrating with us—we can't wait to welcome everyone back to Main Street for another unforgettable Independence Day Parade in 2027! 🇺🇸
