PAPA (Palisades Americanism Parade Association) is asking residents to submit a clever theme for the 2024 Fourth of July Palisades Parade. Themes need to be short—ideally, two- or three-word phrases, but no more than six words.
Submit your best idea(s) by noon on May 4 click here. If your theme is selected, you will be invited to ride in the parade atop a Station 69 fire truck or secure a spot in the grandstands.
Themes from 2002 through 2023:
2002: Hail to Flag and Country
2003: Faithful and True to the Red, White and Blue
2004: Celebrating those who served so honorably.
