Parade - 3 PM !!   The Lynden Canada Day parade is one of the highlights of our annual celebration. Each year we have 40-50 entries taking part in the event that kicks off our day at 3 PM ( note change! ). Musical groups, local service groups, citizens, businesses and area churches participate in our distinctly small-town parade - we'd LOVE to have you be part of it as well. Parade lineup occurs at 2:15 PM when the parade marshals do their magic at the north end of town. Judging for the parade entry prizes occurs from 2:15 - 2:45 PM. There are different judging categories, each with a cash prize of $100: Best 1st time entry Best group / organizational entry Best commercial entry Best individual entry ( excluding groups/organizations ) Judges' award To qualify for an award, the parade entry must be received by Jun 24th.
