Your Guide to the Mammoth Lakes 4th of July Parade

All floats will be entered into our 2022 Float Competition for a chance to win a $500 cash prize. Judges will be looking for positive audience reaction, creativity, execution, parade guidelines adherence and audience engagement. The Float Competition is brought to you by Mammoth All Weather Shuttle.

If you are not already committed for the 4th, we are seeking volunteers to assist us with traffic flow and float judging. Email us here for details.

Grand Marshal

Our 2022 4th of July Parade Grand Marshal is Olympic Athlete Carly Margulies!

Carly was born and raised in Mammoth and had gone through seven knee surgeries by the time she made it to the Olympics. Her persistence and dedication to her sport make her a true Hometown Hero. Catch her at the beginning of the parade as she ushers in our 2022 floats.

Hydration Station & Restrooms

Make sure you bring your reusable water bottle to the parade. Mammoth Hospital is sponsoring our Hydration Station which will be located at Footloose. Stop by to see what’s new at the hospital and rehydrate during the parade!

This year’s parade will also feature six Responsible Waste Zones along the route which will include restrooms, trash & recycling. For details on locations, click here to access the Town 4th of July Map. Thank you our sponsors for making the Responsible Waste Zones possible!
