Lemont Keepataw Day Parade Seeking Grand Marshal Nominations

The Lemont Keepataw Day Committee is excited to announce that nominations are open for the grand marshal of the 72nd Annual Lemont Keepataw Day Parade. This year's theme, "Village of Volunteers," celebrates Lemont's enduring spirit of community service and volunteerism.

“This year’s theme is a testament to our community's caring, thoughtfulness, and helpful values. Even with its growth, Lemont remains a place where neighbors help neighbors, organizations raise money for worthwhile village projects, and even smaller projects make a significant difference in the lives of those in need,” said Beverly Marzec, Parade Chair.

In keeping with that theme, the committee wishes to honor and celebrate an individual volunteer, volunteer group, or volunteer organization as the parade's grand marshal.

Residents of Lemont are encouraged to submit their nominations to recognize those who exemplify community spirit. Nomination forms are available on the Lemont Keepataw Day website and must be submitted via email to parade@lemontkeepataw.com by July 20, 2024.

The chosen Grand Marshal must be available to participate in this year’s parade, scheduled for Sunday, September 1, 2024, at 1 p.m. in downtown Lemont. The parade will be followed by a Fun Fest at 2 p.m., featuring live bands, food and beverage vendors, an artisan market, family-friendly activities, games, and more!

If you have any questions or need further information, please email parade@lemontkeepataw.com or visit the official website at lemontkeepataw.com.

Join us in celebrating the individuals and groups who make Lemont a "Village of Volunteers" and contribute to the vibrant, supportive community we all cherish.
