Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival 2026 Parade
The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival 2026 will feature the Grand Feature Parade, a highlight of the festival. This year’s parade will be on Saturday, May 2, 2026, beginning at 1:30 PM.
The procedure for Special Unit participation is as follows:
- A completed parade application must be received no later than April 15. (Applications received by March 20 will be included in the Souvenir Program Book.)
- Applicants will be notified of acceptance or rejection 7–10 business days after the application is received.
- Accepted units will be notified of parade placement by mid-April 2026.
This year, they are transitioning to a new platform, Eventeny, which will be used for applications and all future communication. Registrants will be required to create a free Eventeny account to complete and submit their application. If you experience any issues creating your account or have questions about the process, please reach out to Heather Waugh at HWaugh@thebloom.com.
For those interested in participating in the parade, a completed parade application must be received at the Festival Office by 17 April. Notifications regarding float positions will be sent out in the first part of April.
