The annual parade showcases more than 130 entries all out to celebrate the patriotic event with everything ranging from marching bands gathered from across the country to local car clubs to floats decorated in red, white and blue. Attracting tens of thousands of eager spectators, the Greeley Stampede Independence Day Parade is one of the largest 4th of July Parades in the nation. Floats, bands and equestrian entries from all over Colorado and many surrounding states join together to celebrate our Nation’s Independence and Colorado’s Western heritage.
