The Addison Historical Museum has officially announced the theme of this year’s Addison-Medinah Shriner’s parade: America@250: Let Freedom Ring!
The parade will take place on Sunday, Aug. 30, lining up at Addison Trail High School and marching through Addison with notable appearances like the Jesse White Tumblers and the New Generation Drill Team.
Alongside them will be the Honorary Grand Marshals, made up of the Addison Historical Commissioners and the Addison Historical Society Board Members who will be representing the museum that is celebrating its 50th anniversary on July 4.
They won’t be marching alone, however. If you’d like to join the parade, applications are now open until Friday, Aug. 14. Any type of unit, including floats, bands, walking groups, vehicles, and more, can submit their desire to be a part of the parade using the application on the addisonadvantage.com website.
Applicants will need to provide a contact for the day of the parade, a short blurb on what should be announced when they begin, and a signature for the waiver, among other things. No electronic signatures will be accepted.
For more information, contact Susan English at the Addison Historical Museum at (630) 693-7549.
