Parade - Marching Band

The 2023 Derby Days Grand Parade will feature many of the incredible community groups that call Redmond home. While Derby Days may be rooted in history, the Grand Parade highlights what makes modern-day Redmond such a vibrant community. Additionally, the Grand Parade is yet another element of the summer festival that upholds the City of Redmond’s commitment to sustainability. In alignment with those efforts, all parade entries are human or animal powered.

  • Trophies will be issued in two categories: Grand Derby Award (Best Overall) and Community Spirit Award
  • Streets along the parade route will be closed in preparation for the parade. Be sure to plan ahead so you have time to park and find a good place to watch! Learn more about street closures here.
