4th of July Parade: Creativity Runs Wild
The 2025 4th of July Parade, brought to you by the Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce, is on Friday, July 4!
We’re honored and so excited to have Chris Benchetler & Kimmy Fasani as this year’s Grand Marshals—two people who truly embody the spirit of Mammoth Lakes. This year’s parade theme will be centered around art and nature "Where Creativity Runs Wild", celebrating what makes Mammoth Lakes so unique.
We are highly encouraging businesses and organizations to be part of this great event. Now’s the time to start thinking about your float entry! With such epic Grand Marshals, you won’t want to sit this one out.
The parade begins at 11am and wraps around 12:30pm. Wear your best patriotic outfits and bring your camp chairs to enjoy the parade of floats as they move through town! Attendance is free and all are invited.
The parade starts at the intersection of Chateau Road and Old Mammoth Road and ends at the corner of Manzanita Road and Main Street.
We are keeping up the tradition of an elevated parade experience, with our 4th of July VIP Party – which was sold out last year! Enjoy a shaded premiere parade viewing party with beer, soft drinks, and a 4th of July-style lunch. Cocktails will be available for purchase. The party will be hosted in the Outbound/Bar Sierra parking lot starting at 10 am (an hour before the parade start-time) and ends at 1:30 pm. Stay tuned for when tickets go on sale.
VIP Party is SPONSORED by:
Chris Benchetler, a legendary freeskier, artist, and filmmaker, has redefined the sport while using his creativity to pay tribute to the mountains.
Kimmy Fasani, a trailblazing snowboarder, author, and advocate, has pushed boundaries in action sports while sharing her journey of resilience and motherhood.
Their love for nature, art, and this community runs deep, and we couldn’t be more excited to have them lead this year’s celebration.
With Chris and Kimmy leading, this year's Parade is likely to draw huge crowds. Now, is also the time to think about sponsoring one of the many parade opportunities – we’ve got them all, from big to small. A Parade Sponsorship is a GREAT opportunity to gain great visibility for your business or organization and show community support in one of Mammoth’s biggest annual events for both locals and visitors.
