I was reading over the announcements at Burbank Wire as I often do and found that Burbank On Parade is now accepting applications to participate AND the city’s Park and Recreation Department is accepting nominations for the Older American’s Volunteer Service Awards. The two are not directly related, but both events do celebrate the community in some way. Read on to find out how you can get involved!

Burbank On Parade

Burbank On Parade Celebrates the Big Top on Saturday April 10th at 11 am (Olive Avenue Between Keystone and Lomita). There are lots of ways to get involved with the parade. You can volunteer to help out, march in the parade, become a sponsor, etc. They are currently looking for sponsors, volunteers and parade entries. Here’s how to get your application to participate:

Simply go to www.burbankonparade.com and print out an application. Easy as pie.

The Theme this Year is: THE BIG TOP. The selection committee will be choosing entries that best fit our theme, so think anything Circus!  Clowns, Acrobats, Animals, Magic! You can dress up, do tricks, juggle, dance, or even ride a unicycle!
