4th of July Parade Presented by Mammoth Film Festival

The Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce 4th of July Parade is taking place on Monday, July 4! The parade begins at 11:00am and wraps around 12:30pm. Wear your best patriotic outfits and bring your camp chairs to enjoy the parade of floats as they move through town! Attendance is free and all are invited. 

The parade starts at the intersection of Chateau Road and Old Mammoth Road (by Salsa's Taqueria) and ends at Manzanita Road and Main Street (by A-Frame Fine Wines & Spirits).

In addition to watching the parade in-person, the entire parade will also be streamed on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

New this year! Mammoth All Weather Shuttle is sponsoring our 2022 Float Competition with a $500 cash prize. Judges will be looking for positive audience reaction, creativity, execution, parade guidelines adherence and audience engagement. 

In addition to float, we are always seeking volunteers. Help support the parade by volunteering to assist with traffic flow and parade production. Email us here for details.
 
Make sure you bring your reusable water bottle to the parade. Mammoth Hospital is sponsoring the Mammoth Community Water District’s 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 to our sponsors for making the Responsible Waste Zones possible!
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.
