Parade Registration - Sinclair Lewis Days
Hello from the 2025 Sinclair Lewis Days Parade Committee!
You’re invited to celebrate our 54th Annual Sinclair Lewis Days with us! It’s Viva Sauk Centre and we have a full line up of events taking place from July 16th – July 20th, watch for details with our lineup of events. Our parade is on Saturday, July 19th 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. Last year our streets were lined with more than 15,000 people!
Our committee’s goal is to have a 100-unit parade geared around this year’s theme, “Viva Sauk Centre”. Think Vegas meets Main Street as we celebrate in style and under the bright city lights! Our number one criterion for our parade is entertainment! We encourage you to start working on your parade floats early and roll the dice and double down on your designs. Get creative and let’s see your favorite Vegas themed floats and we will place our bets that there’s a wide variety of options to spark your creative flair as we gather to celebrate an incredible 54th Annual Sinclair Lewis Days!
We 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.
Registration is open and free to the first 100 registrants. Online registration is preferred/recommended, But you may also register by mailing your application, or by email.
Register online today by clicking the "register" button to the right hand side on this screen.
The 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.
Once your application is received and accepted, and our details are finalized, you will receive more information regarding the parade line-up. This will include your unit number and a map of the parade route. **This information will be sent by the 2nd week of July** If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at the 54th Annual Sinclair Lewis Days!
