The 60th Annual Appleton Flag Day Parade is scheduled for Saturday, June 12th in Appleton. This year's parade theme is "Saluting the Stars & Stripes". For more information, visit http://www.appleton.org/parades/flagday%202010/index.html or follow the parade on Facebook.com.
The Appleton Flag Day Parade has achieved the honor of being recognized as the oldest Flag Day Parade in the nation. This year the parade will honor all United States military services; the US Army, US Marines, US Navy, US Air Force and US Coast Guard and will feature over 100 units displaying patriotic themes. The units will consist of veteran's organizations, scout troops, patriotic floats, decorated vehicles, walking units, along with Drum & Bugle Corps. The line-up will be posted by June 1.
Because of construction on Wisconsin Avenue, both the 2010 and 2011 Flag Day Parades will use a different staging area and will follow a different route than in years past. The parade begins at 2 p.m. from the corner of College Avenue and State Street. It will travel east on College, then north on Drew Street to Erb Park at Roosevelt Street, where it will end. A parade route map may be downloaded.
WFRV-TV 5 will videotape the parade for re-broadcast in the Green Bay/Fox Cities area and on WJMN-TV 3 in Escanaba, MI:
