Commission For The Las Vegas Centennial Offers $1,500 For Quality School Entries
The Helldorado Days Parade (formerly known as the Las Vegas Days Parade), an annual event celebrating our diverse city and its history, is accepting applications from the community to participate in the 2023 parade, scheduled for Saturday, May 13, from 10 a.m. to noon. The application deadline is April 30, 2023, and applications may be made online at www.lasvegasnevada.gov/Helldorado in English and Spanish. There is no fee to enter the parade, which will take place on Fourth Street downtown between Gass and Stewart avenues.
This parade was historically known as Helldorado Days before changing to Las Vegas Days several years ago. Now the event returns to its roots as the Helldorado Days Parade, celebrating the city's founding in 1905 and its western history.
The Commission for the Las Vegas Centennial is offering $1,000 for local school marching band entries and $1,500 for quality local school float entries, limit of two parade entries per school. There is space for a total of 100 entries. A committee will judge the entries during the parade and prizes will be awarded, including $500 for the best marching band and $500 for the best historic Las Vegas-themed float.
"The Helldorado Days Parade is back and bigger than ever, and everyone is invited to participate and enjoy this citywide event," Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman said. "From the marching bands to the beautiful horses and the floats, this parade celebrates our heritage, and is something that everyone can enjoy."
May 15 is the 118th anniversary of the land auction in 1905, which marks the beginning of Las Vegas. This parade was created in 1935. For more information on the Helldorado Days Parade, call 702.229.4859.
