Neighborhood Parade
Parade start time 11:00am
The Montevideo neighborhood started a local parade in 1968 and every year streets in the neighborhood construct floats based on a theme. Floats compete for a prestigious paper certificate for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Come out and cheer on your neighbors and friends! The parade starts at 11:00 am from the Montevideo clubhouse.
