Utahns can celebrate Days of '47 activities by watching or participating in one of the largest youth parades in the United States on July 17th. In just a few blocks, you will see marching bands, creatively decorated floats, performing groups and, of course, several thousand children having a grand time. Performing groups clothed in traditional dress will delight spectators with instruments or vocal and dance routines from around the globe.
The 2010 Youth Parade will begin at 10:00 a.m. Be sure to get the kids up early and on their way to this fun-filled parade so everyone can beat the heat then enjoy the Youth Festival learning activities and games at the end of the Parade in Washington Square (200 East and 500 South, Salt Lake City). Parade lineup begins at 8 a.m.
NEW for 2010: The deadline to submit entry applications is April 15, 2010. Please review the entry forms below for additional information. One float participating in the Youth Parade which best portrays The Days of '47 theme for 2010 "Pioneer Spirit - Then and Now" will be chosen by the Youth Parade Co-Chairs then invited to participate in the "Big Parade" on July 24th. Finally, vendor permitting will be allowed along the parade route for the first time this year. Information and forms will be available beginning in June for anyone interested in sales or distributions along the parade route. No such activity will be allowed without a permit issued by The Days of '47.
