\nHello from the 2026 Sinclair Lewis Days Parade Committee!
\n
\nYou&rsquo\;re invited to celebrate our 55th Annual Sinclair Lewis Days with us! It&rsquo\;s Once Upon a Main Street and where we plan to celebrate the stories that shaped our town and the people still writing it. We have a full line up of events taking place from July 15^th &ndash\; July 19^th\, watch for details with our lineup of events. Our parade is on Saturday\, July 18th at 7:00pm sharp! The Sinclair Lewis Days Parade is one of the main events of our celebration and draws large crowds to our community with more than 15\,000 people lining the streets!
\n \;
\nOur committee&rsquo\;s goal is to have a 100-unit parade geared around this year&rsquo\;s theme\, &ldquo\;Once Upon a Main Street&rdquo\;. Think fairytale books and gardens\, magical creatures\, and literary icons! Our number one criterion for our parade is entertainment! We encourage you to start working on your parade floats early and to help us write the next chapter. Get creative and let&rsquo\;s see your favorite storybook themed floats and we hope for a magical parade lineup as we gather to celebrate an incredible 55^th Annual Sinclair Lewis Days! \;

\nWe will be giving cash prizes in the form of Sauk Centre Chamber Bucks based on judging for Best Themed Float\, Best Non-Profit Float\, Best Musical Float\, &\; Best Youth Float.
\n \;

\nThe line-up will be based primarily\, but not exclusively\, on the order the entries are received and type of float. Get your entry forms submitted early as we only have room for the first 100.
