The parade begins at 11 am. The route starts at the Josephine Caring Community parking lot and ends at the Floyd. The Ice Cream Social will be held in the Floyd. All interested groups are invited to join in the parade. Bring your horses, antique cars, fire trucks, floats, or wagons. Parade participants should meet at the Josephine Caring Community parking lot on July 4th at 10:15 am.

Festivities include a costume contest for children, with the best costume depicting a historical, patriotic, or fourth of July theme. The winners will receive certificates and prize money during the Ice cream social at the Floyd after the parade.
