Revels July 4th Parade Troop

All Revelers, all ages, both veteran and new, are invited to join our colorful and lively parade unit — let’s show a special summer side of Washington Revels to thousands of 4th of July spectators! If you prefer, come sit curbside and cheer with the festive crowd.

Once again making this Independence Day Parade particularly meaningful for Revels, we will be joined by a group of teenage Syrian refugees and their teenage American hosts, in partnership with RefAmerica. Help us give our Syrian friends a warm welcome and a fun window onto a slice of American life!

As always, our joyous and robust band of revelers — adults, teens, and children — will be a vibrant and distinctive section of this historic parade. We will be accompanied by the Hobby Horse, bright banners and ribbon sticks, and more! Kids are welcome (including kids in strollers), and older ones will have their own song to sing. We’ll need adult flyer-hander-outers, too, so non-singers are encouraged to participate, too! Also, if you play an instrument that can be easily carried and you would like to be in the band, let us know that as well.
