The 4th of July Parade is the longest-running event in our town’s history dating from the 1880’s. Once part of the “Firemen’s Fourth,” the parade has been run and managed by a nonprofit corporation, The Telluride 4th of July Parade Committee, since 2004.

The Telluride Fire Protection District, while a valued presence in the parade, provides no financial assistance. The Town of Telluride provides the infrastructure for the event (street closure, insurance, etc) and only reimburses the Committee for our White Line Management folks.

The parade brings more business into Telluride and Mountain Village than any other event, festival, or holiday. We are asking that those businesses who benefit from our efforts contribute to this historic tradition.

Our fundraising goal for 2025 is $10,000. Your sponsorship could include:

___ Lodging for The Hillstompers Band $6000

___ Trophies (five years worth} 2000

___ Sound for announcers, street banner hanging 1000

___ Website administration,renewal 1000

Please indicate which aspect of the parade you would like to sponsor and then click the donate field.
