No Independence Celebration is complete without a parade, so join your Conch comrades April 23, 2009 for the Independence March.

All roads in town lead to Schooner Wharf Bar, and this year's parade route is no different.

Don a costume, break out the beads and march to Howard Livingston  & MM24 who will continue to entertain you after the parade until midnight.

An Awards Ceremony will take place at 9 p.m., where costume & float prizes will be given in three categories. Compete for the title of "Best Conch-cept", "Most Original", or the "Most Creative".

Goodie Bags courtesy of Cruzan Rum, sail trips from Schooner Liberty Clipper and Schooner Adirondack II, water adventures with Sebago Watersports, passage aboard a Sunny Days Catamaran and treasures compliments of Schooner Wharf Bar.

Raise the Flag, make your patriotic party plans and start strutting.
