Parade of Bands Tuesday Evening

The Litchfield Visitor’s Bureau is hosting the annual Parade of Bands tomorrow evening. The event brings thousands of people to Litchfield.

Parade Treasurer Karen Langmo says 11 bands will participate in the Parade of Bands, along with the Litchfield High School Marching Band, and they give a stipend to each of the bands and hand out several awards. She says they have a goal of raising $14,000 each year to put on the event, and if anyone would like to donate, they may drop off a donation at the Chamber office.

Brian Cruze says they’d like to thank the residents who live along the parade route of North Armstrong Avenue, 5th Street and North Gilman Avenue. He says there are 3 main areas where each band performs, and the judges will be posted at the softball field. Concessions will be available at the Parade of Bands Tuesday evening. The parade begins at 6 p.m. June 13th.
