Ready. Aim. Splash!
Cloverdale's 4th of July Parade is getting a little wetter this year! In honor of America's birthday, we're introducing a Splash Zone to the parade route!
Located at the bus stop next to Plaza Park, parade participants can choose their route at the road split near City Hall:
← If they go left towards the park, we hope they came prepared for an H2O battle!
→ If they go right at the fork (away from the park), they will continue on the dry route and remain gloriously un-soaked.
Residents of all ages are invited to line up with their favorite sq**rt guns and water blasters. The City will provide refill stations in Plaza Park by the rest rooms to help keep the action going.
A few rules of engagement:
• BYO Sq**rt guns and water blasters only
• No water balloons or projectiles
• Keep it safe and family friendly
• Let the dry side stay dry
• No running, the pavement may be slippery when wet
• Wage water war at your own risk
Don't want to get wet? Then the splash zone is not for you! We'd suggest choosing an alternative location to post up along the parade route.
Some floats will charge bravely into battle. Others will choose a drier path. Either way, it's shaping up to be a memorable way to celebrate 250 years!
The water works begin July 4 at 10:00 AM.
