The St. Johns Parade is the oldest and only all-donation and volunteer parade! Since 1963, people from near and far have looked forward to the marking the start of summer at the St. Johns Parade. Many families have their favorite viewing spot and many who have moved away come home for this special weekend to watch the floats, bands, drill teams, and horses. Parade participants from the early years are now watching their children and grandchildren as they march or ride the parade route.
A cherished St. Johns tradition like no other
