Don’t let the parade pass you by

Independence Day is coming up fast. So, put a coat of wax on the old pick-up, stock up on crepe paper streamers and load up the back with flag-waving patriots and enter the 4th of July parade in downtown Clayton. Join your friends and neighbors, clubs, scout troops, and marching bands in this most patriotic and traditional celebration of our country’s independence.

The day starts early with the Clayton Valley/Sunrise Rotary Club Pancake Breakfast at Endeavor Hall from 7-10.  Breakfast is just $6 for adults and $4 for kids.

After breakfast, head on over to Main Street where Clayton’s Cw Wolfe will be back on the grandstand as Grand Marshall.
No advance entry is needed for the Kiddie Parade – just show up by 10 a.m. at the flagpole with decorated bikes, trikes, scooters and the family dog.

The parade takes an army of volunteers to help with set up, logistics and clean up. If you can help anytime between the hours of 6 a.m. and noon on Saturday, July 4th please call Janet Brown, city clerk, at 925-673-7304 or email: jbrown@ci.clayton.ca.us

Deadline for entries is July 26. Fill out a parade application at the city of Clayton website at cityofclayton.org, or pick one up at City Hall

On Saturday night, rock out at the summer concert in The Grove with Clayton’s own Plan B. Set up chairs and blankets after 4 p.m. Concert starts at 6.
