Brainerd Area Coalition for Peace and Brainerd Lakers United for the Environment will be joining to take part in the Brainerd 4th of July Parade this year . The staging area is on Mississippi Parkway (behind Central Lakes College). Please enter the area from County Road 48 and go East on College Drive. You will make a right turn onto Mississippi Parkway, at the most West roundabout on College Drive. A sign will be posted. We will not know our staging number until the last week or so before the parade, and it will be posted here. The number for Brainerd Area Coalition for Peace/Brainerd Lakers United for the Environment will also be available at the check-in point. The number will be marked on the street or parking area where we are to set up.

Check in will begin at noon. We may arrive any time between noon and 3 pm. At 3 pm, the roads will be closed. The parade begins at 4 pm sharp. The parade route is approximately 1.25 miles.

Once we have checked in and have found our position, we may leave the staging area if we have an extra vehicle. Please return and be in our assigned place no later than 3:15 pm. We may park extra vehicles in the areas around the staging area.

The map here shows the staging area in pink and the parade route in red.

Everyone is welcome to take part in the parade with us. Signs and flags will be provided. Join us!
