HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE ALONG THE PARADE ROUTE. HERE ARE THE PARADE DETAILS FOR THOSE FOLLOWING ALONG

Annual Karl E. Kenyon
SMOKEY BEAR PARADE
Thursday, July 16th at 5:00 PM

The parade will kick off sharply on Thursday, July 16th at 5:00 PM from the Westerly Walmart. Residents from all towns are invited to join us along the parade route, shown below.

Why attend?
One of our communities’ annual traditions is to hold this parade to remember Karl E. Kenyon, former Deputy Chief of Dunn’s Corners Fire. In addition, to spread fire prevention materials and knowledge to those families in our communities. Of course, we like to make a little noise and show off our lights whenever we can!

COVID Virus Note- The parade will NOT be stopping at the designated stops as done in years past to help maintain social distancing in our community. Instead we are encouraging groups of no greater than 15 people, spread out along our parade route to see Smokey and all the Fire & EMS apparatus.
