Battle Ground Parade

Come join us for the Battle Ground Harvest Days Parade! Even better, make it a full day, come for the rose planting, and then travel north for a second parade of the day in Olympia as part of Capital Lake Fair!! We have a van that holds up to twelve people going to all the events if you want to travel as a group.

Where: The rose planting will be at: Central Park 414 E. Main Street, Battle Ground. The parade staging area is near the High School, detailed staging area directions provided closer to the event.

When: The rose planting is at 9:00, so please arrive at Central Park no later than 8:30.. Parade starts at 10:00. We will walk over together after the ceremony (approximately 9:30).

Parking: there is limited parking at the high school, plus additional street parking. Note that Main Street and surrounding areas will be closed starting at 9:00. (Or sign up for the van!) 

Attire: Whites, gloves, hats, and capes - or greens.

Post Parade Gathering: at Margarita Factory 11 N Parkway Ave, Battle Ground

Notes: Please note there are separate sign ups for the shuttle and the parade. Please register for both (assuming you want to do both). The van will continue on to Olympia so do not sign up for the van if you want to return to Portland after the Battle Ground parade 

Details on the van: There will be a van for Rosarians wishing to march in both the Battleground and Olympia Lakefair parades. The cost will be $15. Click on the link on the left to register. There is room for 12 riders. Please arrive at the Holiday Inn Jantzen Beach by 7:50 AM. We typically have lunch at the Margarita Factory in Battleground after the parade and then travel to Olympia in time for the Rose Planting at 3:15. We will leave Olympia after the parade, and usually stop for dinner on the way home, often at the McMinnimans in Kalama. Expected arrival back in Jantzen Beach by 9-9:30 PM.
