2025 Labor Day Parade and Festival Details and Information Released
Bothers, Sisters and Friends,
This year the 2025 Labor Parade and Festival Committee is hosting a Labor Parade on Sunday, August 24, 2025. The parade will begin at 9:00am, with the line up beginning at 7:00am.
The parade will line and start from the Eagen Center (1 James J. Eagen Drive, Florissant) and end at the Knights of Columbus Park (the same park as 2024).
Floats will be limited to 2 large floats OR 4 small floats, or a combination of 1 large float and 2 small floats. All cars and trucks will count as 1 float. Motorcycles are welcome.
We are again asking that all participating locals provide at least two volunteers to assist with pedestrian traffic, parking and other assistance as needed by the Florissant Police Department.
There will be many events for both young and old. We are reaching out to see if your organization would be willing to help sponsor and participate in this year's event.
There are many levels of sponsorship available. We are also looking for sponsorships of our refreshments and children’s games. We encourage all sponsors to put up signage or set up a display table with your information. Please contact Travis Barnes at 573-631-4395 or Jennifer Conner at 314-291-7399 for more information regarding sponsorships. We will be sending a totally different request to possible sponsors and lawyers from this letter.
