Vail’s beloved 4^th of July celebration, Vail America Days, returns this summer. The event attracts visitors from across Colorado and beyond and will include the Vail America Days Parade and an evening fireworks display, weather permitting. The theme for the 2023 parade is “This Land is Your Land.” A limited number of parade entries are available to non-profit organizations and businesses, as well as children’s and musical groups. The parade route sees 10,000 - 20,000 spectators and is a great way to gain awareness with the community and visitors. The application deadline for parade entries is 5 p.m. June 25.

The parade is scheduled for a 10 a.m. start on Tuesday, July 4 and will make its way from Golden Peak to Lionshead. The day also includes a patriotic concert put on by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater.
