About
The July 4th Celebration Committee invites you to participate in our annual parade celebrating our Nation’s Independence Day.
This years Liberty Day parade theme is, “Proclaim Liberty”.
Due to a conflicting event at the normal time, the parade is scheduled to start Saturday July 3rd, 2010 at 10 AM. Entry Forms must be returned by June 24th, 2010, in order to insure your entry a spot in the parade. Please return your entry form to:
“We the People” Liberty Day Parade
P.O. Box 532
Boise, ID 83701
Entry Fees are as follows:
- $12.00 for walking group
- $22.00 for single car entry
- $32.00 for a 501-C3 float and multiple vehicle entries.
- $52.00 for a commercial float and multiple vehicle entries.
The 4th of July Celebration Committee has decided to add a new element of “Preferred Placement” for entrants this year. For an extra $10 you can reserve a spot in the top 30 positions. *Please note that the top 30 positions are on a first come first serve basis. Reservations have to be made over the phone so, please contact us at 208-853-4439 as soon as you can to save your spot. Your spot will be secured once your payment is received, otherwise it will be released for another entry to fill.
These fees help pay for the various expenses accrued in putting on the parade including the liability insurance we are required to carry. Note we have raised the fees two dollars from last year. This is to fund prizes for the winners of the best entry contest. Payment for the fee may be made to the 501-c3 non-profit organization, “We the People July 4th Liberty Parade, Inc.”
Ways you can help:
- Participate in our poll at right on the scheduled parade time.
- Volunteer! Please call us at 208-853-4439 or 208-377-2364 if you or anyone you know is willing to volunteer during the parade.
- Donate, or encourage your employer to sponsor the parade.
- Please note the parade route. Enter the staging area at the corner of 11th and Bannock. Parade Entrants will be arranged in the Boise Corp. parking lot between Bannock and Jefferson.
- Please also note that the Boise Police have told us that you CANNOT throw candy from any moving vehicle. You may have walkers in your group HAND it out.
- If entering, carefully read the Parade and Float Rules that accompany the parade entry application. We’ve had too many entrants ignoring the rules in previous years, so to ensure the safety and enjoyment of the parade for everyone, we’ve been forced to stiffen the penalties for non-compliance.

Hey guys,
My wife and I want to just walk in the parade as we did in the Tea Party Parade last April 15th. Are you requiring individuals like us to buy a Parade entry ticket just to march in it?
Thanks for your response.

If I were you, I would encourge individuals to march with their signs for free, just like they did last April 15th. Those who want to enter floats or march as a group can pay an entry fee. Your objective, remember, is to get the largest possible number of marchers as you can since that’s how you get lotsa news coverage. Thanks.
Anyone wanting to submit a late entry should call us at 208-377-2364. You can download a parade application at the link above and fax it to 208-362-8061
Dear Committee members, Thank you for the tremendous honor you bestowed on me to be a Marshall in the parade. As I greeted and thanked Gen. Doty at the sign in area, it struck me that I was being recognized and honored alongside of a man like him.
I sincerely appreciate that honor, and humbly submit that my gracious Lord Jesus is truly the One to be honored, as it is His grace and goodness that has made me the man that I am.
On behalf of my two grandsons who were thrilled to ride with me and myself, thank you again.
Sincerely,
Bill Roscoe
You are most welcome, Rev. Roscoe
any changes for 2010? cost, etc?
Hello,
I am unable to open the parade application. I can click on the link but nothing happens. I tried opening it with Firefox and IE8. I am also running Windows 7. Can that have anything to do with the download? If you can, can you e-mail me the application? Also, we are a club, do we still need to pay for the $12.00 entry fee?
Thanks,
Shannon
Yes, I am having trouble with that link as well, we will have it fixed by Monday. Entry fee is based on the type of entry (individual, single car, car
group, float, etc…) not on the organization. So yes, you would still have to pay the entry fee, based on what type of entry you plan on making.
Yes there are changes. Please Check out our “About” Section to get more information
