Tega Cay’s Parade is becoming widely known for its patriotic flair parade -- from streamers and ribbons on the largest entry to the smallest child, everyone comes together to make this event the best small town July 4th celebration in the area.  This year’s theme "Let Freedom Ring" encompasses the sounds of the holiday from ringing of the bells to children singing, this year we want to exclaim the excitement of being an American.  The more patriotic, while keeping in the theme, makes you a perfect candidate for taking one of the coveted trophies and bragging rights!

It is very important to the success of the parade and the full enjoyment and safety of all participants and spectators that you know your responsibilities.  Please review the guidelines with your participants on the parade registration form.  All entries must register to participate.
