The 2021 Apple Blossom Parade is scheduled to roll down Fredrick Avenue at 9:30 in the morning on May 1st.
The 2020 parade theme "Telling Our Stories" is carrying on as this years parade theme.
“The theme celebrates the St. Joseph News-Press, and its 175th anniversary — even though a year late — remains fitting since the St. Joseph News Press is still telling St. Joseph’s stories,” Executive Director Michelle Wolfe said.
Anyone who enters a vehicle into the parade whether that be a motorcycle, car, truck, and so on... is expected to decorate their entry. All entries are encouraged to display the theme in thier own way. The Apple Blossom website has a list of recommended ways to decorate.
“This year we encourage you to tell us your stories in your parade entries. It can be the story of your organization, a favorite or unique story from the newspaper or other favorite story you want to share,” she explained.
Socail distancing and masks are encouraged even with this being an outdoor event.
Fees for the 2021 parade will be $100 per entry. No awards will be offered this year.
