Voted one of the best parades in Utah County! The Springville Grand Parade on Saturday begins promptly at 10 am! Over 100 entries of marching bands, floats, antique vehicles, equestrian and more will make the way through downtown Springville. The parade begins at Buckley Ave and 400 South, travels west and turns north on Main Street. The end of the parade is Main Street and 200 North.
An announcer will be stationed in front of the Springville Museum of Art as well as another announcer in front of City Hall. These announcements will introduce and describe the parade entries as they make their way down the street. Blankets and/or chairs can be set up along the parade route 24 hours in advance with property owner’s permission. Do not block driveways or sidewalks. Be aware that automatic sprinklers may damage items set out along the parade route.
