More than 90 units and some 35 floats are set to join the parade on the Fourth of July in Brandon, with onlookers on both sides of Parsons Avenue and Robertson Road getting their fill of revelry deeply rooted in tradition.

"We look forward to helping families start new traditions and to continue the traditions with people who have been coming to the parade for years," said Janine Nickerson, vice president of the Community Roundtable. 

The group for more than 50 years has been involved with the running of the annual parade, a signature event for the Greater Brandon community.

Brandon Patch secured from the Community Roundtable on Sunday, June 30, the most current line-up for the parade. Use this list to keep track of who's marching when (but keep in mind changes can be made up until the start of the 10 a.m. parade).
