Pershing County’s youngest patriots are invited to put on their red, white and blue and take part in this year’s Kiddie Parade on Friday, July 3.
“Celebrating 250 Years of America” is the theme for the 2026 parade, sponsored by the Pershing County 4-H Community Club and the Pershing County Cattlewomen.
Children ages 12 and younger are encouraged to dress as characters from America’s past, present or future, decorate a small wagon or bicycle, or simply come dressed in their most patriotic colors. Participation is free, and all children are welcome.
Registration will begin at 9:40 a.m. at the Lovelock Depot, with the parade stepping off at 10 a.m. The route will travel from the Depot to the Pershing County Courthouse Park.
Parents are encouraged to walk with younger children. Parade entries must be no larger than a child’s red wagon or small bicycle, and live animals, including dogs, cats and ponies, will not be allowed.
At the courthouse, each participating child will receive a 50-cent piece and an Otter Pop from the Pershing County Cattlewomen. A free barbecue will also be provided for parade participants and those attending the celebration.
Organizers are encouraging families to let their imaginations run wild while celebrating America’s 250th birthday and Pershing County’s Independence Day traditions.
