🇺🇸🚤 AMERICA TURNS 250… LET’S CELEBRATE IN STYLE! 🚤🇺🇸
The Lake Claiborne Fourth of July Boat Parade is back, and this year we’re celebrating a milestone 250 years in the making!
It’s America’s 250th Birthday, and we’re calling on everyone to help make this year’s parade the biggest, boldest, and most patriotic one yet.
Deck out your boat in red, white, and blue. Fly those flags. Turn up the patriotic spirit. And let’s fill Lake Claiborne with a celebration worthy of America’s semiquincentennial!
This year, we will also proudly honor the memory of our 2026 Boat Parade Grand Marshal, Dick Dorrell, whose love for Lake Claiborne, community traditions, and the Fourth of July celebration helped make this event what it is today.
🏆 And yes… the Most Patriotic Float competition returns!
Our judges will once again be spread throughout the parade route looking for the boat that best captures the spirit of America, Lake Claiborne, and the Fourth of July.
So don’t hold back.
🇺🇸 More flags.
🇺🇸 More lights.
🇺🇸 More creativity.
🇺🇸 More patriotism.
Let’s give Dick a parade he would have loved and make America’s 250th birthday one to remember on beautiful Lake Claiborne.
