Memorial Day is more than four months away, but the City of Falls Church wants people to start thinking about their floats for the annual parade.
The city’s 39th annual Memorial Day Parade (Monday, May 25) will have a Community Float Challenge — the winner will get a party hosted by the Recreation and Parks Department.
More from the city:
Who can participate:Â Floats can be made with neighbors down the street or in your apartment/condo complex, your family, or just a group of friends. This year, we’re opening the challenge up to community groups, such as school clubs, church groups, book clubs, knitting circles, or your favorite Falls Church Meetup group!
What should the float be about:Â Memorial Day is about remembering our nation’s fallen heroes. Create a float that shows your patriotism. Floats don’t have to be elaborate: they can be simple, with materials you already have.
The parade is set to start at 2 p.m. and will travel down Park Ave between West and Little Falls streets.
The deadline for float applications is Friday, March 27. People should send their applications to Scarlett Williams at [email protected].
