Join us at the 2017 Golden Days Grande Parade Saturday, July 22.

If you'd like to participate, please read through the parade guidelines and sign up here today.  A roster and UAF liability waiver is required for all participants, so please sign up in advance. Participants accompanying anyone under 18 must also bring a parental consent form.

UAF's contribution in the parade will include the University Fire Department's Ladder 10, a large UAF float, Cooperative Extension and 4-H, employees, alumni and more. We'd like to have some participants ride on the float. If you're interested, please let us know.

Parade participants should arrive between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. Judging is at 8:45 a.m., and we'd like to have some participants join us on the float at that time. Participants must arrive to the north Carlson Center parking lot no later than 9:30 a.m. to get positioned before the parade begins at 10 a.m. There will be no parking at the Carlson Center for participants. Participants should park at Ryan Middle School and take the free shuttle to the parade line-up. The parade route turn south on Barnette Avenue this year, due to construction on Noble Street. There will be a shuttle at the end of the parade (728 Gaffney Rd.) to transport participants back to Ryan Middle School.

All UAF affiliates can receive a Nanook Nation T-shirt to wear in the parade.
