On Saturday morning of each Homer Davenport Days festival, the residents of Silverton focus their attention on the downtown district as the annual community parade streams through town. Beginning at 10 a.m., the parade provides spectators with about two hours of entries ranging from floats to antique automobiles to bands and dancers.

The parade is sponsored by Silver Falls Bank and is led by the local Boy Scout color guard. Each year, a theme is announced which sets the tone for the event, though theme participation is not required.

As the parade passes the central downtown area, the announcing stand informs the crowd of parade award winners, decided by a panel of judges prior to the parade.

For more information, call the Silverton Area Chamber of Commerce at 503-873-5615 or email event coordinator Gordon Goschie.
