2026 Theme: TBD

Join the Spirit of BMD Parade!

Why Join the Parade?

There’s nothing quite like a small-town parade—kids waving from the curb, neighbors cheering, and the whole town coming together to celebrate what makes our community shine. Whether you're a business, a community group, a family, or just someone with a flair for fun, this is your chance to be part of a cherished Cottage Grove tradition.

  • Put your float, costume, or creativity in front of thousands of smiling faces
  • It’s advertising that actually makes people smile—and wave!
  • From gold-themed costumes to classic cars, dancers to decked-out wagons—bring your best
  • Create unforgettable memories for your kids, your crew, and your community

Whether you go full gold rush or just add a little sparkle, your presence brings joy and helps us reignite the legacy of Bohemia. Let’s make it a parade to remember—because in Cottage Grove, the more, the merrier!
