Summer Solstice Parade on Orcas Island
Orcas Islanders and friends from near and far are invited to the 18th Annual Summer Solstice Parade on Saturday June 18th at noon in Eastsound. The theme this year is
“Solar Flair!”
The always colorful, whimsical procession will once again glide, swirl and dance on Main Street around to North Beach Road and loop into the Village Green. Immediately following the parade, the fun continues with music and dance performances by local favorites at the Stage on the Green.
Anyone wishing to participate in the parade should gather no later than 11:30 am on Haven Road. Haven is located south of Main Street and north of Madrona Point. Signage will point the way and volunteers will be on hand to help participants find a place in the line-up.
The parade is a foot parade, including bicycles, wagons, carts and people powered floats. Please no motorized vehicles, livestock or written words. A fun, family-friendly event to celebrate summer, Orcas style.
Everyone is welcome to help create banners, costumes and direct traffic. Join the fun!
For more information or to volunteer please call Laura Gibbons at 376-5458.
