Celebrate Independence Day at the Truckee 4th of July Parade!

The Truckee Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that planning is underway for the Annual Truckee 4th of July Parade, returning this year as part of a full day of community celebrations. This year’s parade will hold special significance as the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. Although the anniversary is a country-wide event, Truckee’s celebration will remain focused on what makes the town so special: neighbors coming together, local organizations showing their pride, and families lining the streets to celebrate community traditions.
