River Days has a budget to provide a modest contribution to local or visiting marching bands, or other parade entries with musicians, bands or dancers and help offset expenses. Marching bands, musicians, and dancers captivate the crowds and fill the air with music. Our Parade Committee would like more entries like this to consider. Please call Tammy, Parade Chair, at 425.306.8450 to discuss your marching band or musician based parade entry.
