The theme of this year's parade is "I Thank My Lucky Stars I Live in Wimberley, Texas," but this lengthy name doesn't mean that visitors to Wimberley are not most welcome to bring a chairs, grab a hat and sunglasses and plan to get comfortable watching a unique tradition.
Would you or your business like to enter the parade? There's time right up until a few days before. The deadline for new entries in 2009 is June 28th.
All parade float/entries will be judged upon the basis of how well they reflect the spirit of Wimberley. Last year's parade had over 75 entries.
The main parade starts at 10 AM. This year there will not be a Children/Pets Parade.
A Jubilee, held at Blue Hole park, follows the parade in the afternoon. A patriotic concert by the Wimberley Community Chorus and Community Band makes the celebration complete, followed by more live music until 3 PM. Food and drinks will also be available.
