Dear Parade Participant, 

We thank you for supporting the Missouri City Juneteenth Celebration and the City of Missouri City. Your participation helps tremendously inoffset our effort to honor this significant, historical occasion.

One of the highlights of this year’s celebration is our signature “One Mile of Smiles” parade.

We would like for you to join with the numerous bands from the Greater Houston and Fort Bend Area, Boy and Girl Scouts, and US Navy Color Guards, along with various other corporate & civic groups, celebrities, dignitaries, and beautiful floats in celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation.

To off-set the cost of this event, we will charge an entry fee. Hopefully, this minimal fee is not a deterrent to your support.

Most importantly, this parade, celebrating its 19th year, will not and has never allowed for political demonstrations and points of view. Elected officials are welcome to participate, absent of any campaign…
