Kirkland Independence Day Parade

The Seattle Base is planing on participating in the Kirkland Independence Day parade on the 4th of July. Once again Kirkland is going all out this year for military personnel. We will again be given a carnation, snacks and water before the event, plus be one of the featured entries in the parade.

Everyone that has been at the last two parades will remember the warm welcome we received not only from the officials of the city, but from the by-standers who lined the parade route. If you have not ridden/marched in a parade before, this is a great one to participate in.

It is recommended that we show up by 10:30 am. The Children's Parade starts at 11:30 am and the main parade starts at noon.

We will meet in the same location as last year, at Heritage Hall at the corner of Central and Market Street. To get there, you take Exit 18 off of 405, head west, that’s Central Street. Follow Central until you reach Market and turn right to find parking at Heritage Park.

USSVI and the VFW are the only Military groups this year so let's everyone try and be at this fun event



For more information about the parade you can contact any of the Seattle Base Officers or check the parade's website.
