Truckee 4^th of July Parade – North Lake Tahoe 2015

As a kid growing up in a small rural town the 4^th of July was a big deal.  For days we’d pester our parents to take us to the annual 4^th of July parade.  Throw in a BBQ picnic, sometime at the swimming pool that afternoon (okay it was really a fresh water pond), and fireworks at the fairgrounds, and life as a child was pretty sweet! 

Later in life I’d get to march in that 4^th of July Parade and to this day, I still remember the personal pride and excitement that I had to be part of that an annual local event that celebrated our freedom and our nation’s birthday.

If you’ll be in the greater North Lake Tahoe area and you’re looking for a 4^th of July Parade to watch, you can enjoy this holiday tradition by watching the Truckee 4^th of July Parade on Saturday, July 4, 2015 starting at 10 a.m. in Truckee, California.

Yes, this is all about leaving the big city behind, and it is the best celebration of what small town living in all about – pride, citizenship, and a sense of community, not to mention a lot of home-town fun! 

This may be corny, but there is a certain childhood delight that comes from watching our local Tahoe Parades.  It’s a step back in time when it was all about the people in the parade and what they have created. 

It’s all about placing your hand on your heart as American Flags march past you.  It’s about the sound of the local high school band, drill teams, and cheering for our men and women in their military dress uniforms. 

This years’ Truckee 4^th of July Parade theme is “Live-Work-Play-Truckee” and with fifty (50) entries it should be a great event. 

The 4^th of July Parade begins at the Truckee High School (11725 Donner Pass Road) and will travel down the Donner Pass Road ending in Downtown Truckee covering a 1.5 mile parade route.  

Get there early and pick out your spot along the parade route.  Temperatures will be in the 80’s so bring a camping chair, perhaps an umbrella, and a bottle of cold water.  I’m hoping I’ll find some delicious tasty treats to enjoy once I’m there, but this is what I’ll start with.
