July 21, 2011 Belvedere E-Notifications

Everybody Loves A Parade! Tiburon/Belvedere Main Street Parade Labor Day Weekend - Sunday, September 4 from 2 pm to 3:30 pm The 2011 Main Street Parade will be more fun than ever!   Belvedere Tiburon Recreation is livening up this year's event with the theme "Life on the Bay."  Consider creating a themed float that represents what "Life on the Bay" means to you.  Get a group of neighbors together, teams, clubs, a neighborhood, family and friends and come strut your stuff! You can decorate bikes, trucks, scooters, wagons, or even you pet!  Do a little dance or whatever makes you smile!  This year, there will be prizes for best floats and entries, as well as a formal grand stand in front of which your group can perform.  We will even create a memorable DVD of the day's grand stand groups that you can purchase after the event. PLUS!  This year there will be balloons, face painting, food, and drinks along Main Street and at the terminus of the parade, Belvedere Land Company Mini Park at San Rafael Avenue and Beach Road in Belvedere. For more details and an application to join the fun, visit the Recreation website, send them an email, or give them a call! George Rodericks City Manager
