Summer Solstice Parade & Celebration
— from Laura Gibbons —
Orcas Islanders and friends from near and far are invited to the 16th Annual Summer Solstice Parade on Saturday June 21 at noon in Eastsound. The theme this year is “Toys, Contraptions and Thingamajigs”.
The always colorful, whimsical procession will once again glide, swirl and dance on Main Street around to North Beach Road, and looping around to the Village Green. Immediately following the parade local favorites will perform at the Stage on the Green.
Anyone wishing to participate in the parade should gather near the Oddfellows Hall, by no later than 11:30 am. The Odd Fellows Hall is located at 112 Haven Road just north of Madrona Point.
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 welcome summer, Orcas style.
Volunteers are encouraged to help create banners, costumes and direct traffic.
For more information or to volunteer please call Laura Gibbons at 376-5458.
