RITZVILLE – The Chamber of Commerce is organizing a community parade for Saturday, September 5, at 11 a.m.

Chamber President Karen Cady said due to COVID-19 restrictions on social gatherings, the parade will be a “drive by” through Ritzville, and participants will adhere to all the guidelines including use of masks and social distancing.

“The plan is to drive through Ritzville with our cars, trucks, or vans (no walking) decorated to celebrate our community, families, graduates or whatever we can celebrate,” Cady said. “We just want to celebrate positive things. Nothing negative or offensive.”

Parade participants are asked to bring their own water, snack and mask.

For information on where the parade begins or to submit parade entry information, contact Cady at 509 999 8941 or email [email protected].
