About the event

Gypsum Daze Parade
Since 1983, Valley Road has been vibrant with the fun of the Gypsum Daze Parade, drawing hundreds of attendees to the warm family community of Gypsum, CO! It's a tradition filled with fun, culminating in our Gypsum Fire and Airport Trucks hosing down the crowd to keep cool on a hot summer day.

We welcome any and all organizations to participate in the Parade. This is a great opportunity for your group or business to share your heritage, talents, services, and pride with our community. ENTER HERE. https://www.townofgypsum.com/play-explore/events/gypsum-daze/parade-entry-form

THEME: Cowabunga! From Howdy-Doody, to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Bart Simpson, Cowabunga expresses excitement or exhilaration, and is equivalent to shouting woo-hoo or something similar. It was later popularized in the surfing community, perhaps due to its similarity to the Hawaiian "kupaianaha," a joyful exclamation of surprise.

For the 2025 Gypsum Daze Parade, lets see your creative interpretation of this theme. Maybe its "Cow"-a-bunga, or maybe a Cowboy Luau, or go with a float related to Howdy-Doody, the Ninga Turtles or Bart Simpson. It's all up to you and your creativity.

PRIZES: 1st Place $300, 2nd Place $200, 3rd Place $100.

JUDGING CRITERIA: Creativity, enthusiasm, and adherence to the parade theme.

PREP & LINEUP: Ridley's Market at 8:15 AM

NOTE: If you are planning to hand out candy or any kind of giveaway from your float, for safety reasons, please do not toss the items from the float but rather have people walk beside the float and hand the items to crowd members. We want to prevent the urge for children to run into the street. All giveaways should be appropriate for all-ages. Thank you!
