The 67th annual scottsdale parada del sol parade & trail’s end festival committee are planning another fabulous 2020 parada with a theme of western legends. “What we need now is more volunteers to get involved in the Feb. 8, 2020 event,” said Parada President Wendy Springborn. “For 67 years the Scottsdale Parada del Sol volunteers have been coordinating the horse-drawn carriages, bands, wagons and stagecoaches, but due to the interest and growth, we need many more people or teams from companies to volunteer to help us get ready for 2020. Volunteers can donate some time in committees in the planning or assist the morning of the parade. Teams are needed to put up fencing and décor for the Trail’s End street festival around Old Town Scottsdale,” said Springborn. “There are various opportunities for volunteers outlined on our website and the time commitment can be for the day or more.”
“Last year we received many new entries and we feel the two-hour Parade is now at capacity. Because of the increase in entries, we will be accepting 2020 entry applications on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is critical to fill out your application soon,” she said. The Parada Committee is accepting applications for bands, marching groups, cities/towns, mounted western groups, Tribes, dancing groups, commercial floats, horse riders/horse groups, western type vehicles and vendors for the Festival. If you are a leader of a band, organization, mounted horse group, or troop of marchers and would like to participate in the Parada del Sol Parade or Trail’s End Festival, just go to www.scottsdaleparade.com and download the application to get your entry in as soon as possible.
