Flag Ceremony

Freedom Fest begins with our flag ceremony by the SSL Police Department Honorary Guard, a special guest singing The Star-Spangled Banner, and remarks by Mayor Wood. After the flag ceremony, the parade starts! 

Parade

This year's parade theme is The Power of Kindness. Come cheer on the floats and show your love for our community. Parade participants are allowed to hand candy out to the crowd.  For the safety of everyone, candy is not allowed to be thrown from float, and spectators should never cross the white bike lanes.  Thank you for helping keep the parade fun and safe for all.
