Parade Route & Logistics
Beginning on Coloma Road at McGregor Drive, the parade proceeds west to Chase Drive, left on Rinda Drive to Dawes Street into Cordova Gardens Elementary School parking lot. Parents should plan to pick up their children at Cordova Gardens Elementary School following the parade. The Parade will NOT enter Hagan Park.
Total distance is about 1.5 miles. Bring water!
While the parade begins at McGregor, parade entries join the procession at both the Cordova Neighborhood Church and the Cordova Church of Christ. Therefore, if you want to see it all, the best seats will be between Cordova Church of Christ and Hagan Park.
A judge's reviewing stand will be set up near Casa Coloma Convalescent Home. There, parade-watchers will be able to catch the quick presentations some participants provide.
