The White Bear Avenue Parade was the last, traditional, community parade on the Eastside of St. Paul. With over 100 units and more than 12,000 in the audience this is the place to go on a warm summer evening in July! The parade was and continues to be the official kickoff to the Annual Ramsey County Fair. 

Post-pandemic the costs to put on a large scale event in the city of St Paul skyrocketed beyond our budget.  Luckily for us, the city of Maplewood has stepped in and saved the day! The 2022 event will be smaller and the route shorter but we are hoping to build on this for next year.

As in the past, the parade is a wonderful opportunity for you to show support for our community and highlight the many businesses, non profits, faith based communities and groups that are active in our neighborhood.

Would you like to make an investment in your community and receive? Considering sponsoring our parade. Based on your sponsorship level, your business or product can receive many benefits including a free unit in the parade and/or at the Fair.
