Appleton Now Accepting Applications for the 2024 Flag Day and Memorial Day Parades
The City of Appleton Parades Committee is now accepting applications for the 73rd Appleton Flag Day Parade. The biggest and best Flag Day Parade in the country is scheduled for Saturday, June 8.
"The Flag Day Parade embodies the power of patriotism in our community, where we come together to celebrate the spirit of America," said Corey Otis, Chairperson for the City of Appleton Parades Committee. "It's a cherished tradition that showcases our shared pride and reverence for the values that unite us as a nation.”
The theme of the 73rd Appleton Flag Day Parade is “Rockin’ in the U.S.A.” The Parade Grand Marshal, as always, is the United States Flag. Every year, the Flag Day Parade honors a branch of the military, and this year’s event will spotlight the United States Army, including the United States Army Reserve, Army National Guard, and affiliated veteran organizations.
Fox Cities residents have honored “Old Glory” on the second Saturday in June since 1950, making the Appleton Flag Day Parade the nation’s oldest. The celebration annually draws more than 50,000 spectators and participants from throughout the state and nation to Appleton.
Organizations interested in participating in the 73rd Appleton Flag Day Parade must complete and submit an official application before April 15, 2024. Groups can access the applications online via the City of Appleton website (www.appleton.org/visitors/appleton-parades) or the City of Appleton Parades Facebook page. Applicants are encouraged to incorporate this year’s theme, spotlighted branch of the military, and U.S. Flag.
The parade begins at 2:00 p.m. at the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and N. Oneida Street. The route travels west down W. Wisconsin Avenue to N. State Street, south on N. State Street to W. College Avenue. At W. College Avenue the parade travels east and ends at Drew Street. The event is organized by the Appleton Parade Committee, a group of dedicated community volunteers. Follow the City of Appleton Parades on Facebook for updates on this year’s event.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: The 2024 Appleton Memorial Day Parade is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on Monday, May 27, 2024. The Appleton Memorial Day Parade pays tribute to servicemen and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving in defense of the United States. The "Moment of Remembrance" ceremony will take place immediately following the Parade in Appleton’s historic Riverside Cemetery, 714 North Owaissa Street. Organizations interested in participating in the 2024 Appleton Memorial Day Parade must complete and submit an official application before April 15, 2024. Groups can access the applications online via the City of Appleton website (www.appleton.org/visitors/appleton-parades) or the City of Appleton Parades Facebook page.

ROCKONSIN is the only statewide youth music competition program of its kind in the nation.
The 2024 ROCKONSIN State Finals two day competition will be conducted June 28 & June 29 (12:15pm – 2:45pm; 5 bands each day) on the Aurora Pavilion Stage at Summerfest during its festival run held over three weeks (June 20 - 22; June 27 - 29; July 4 - 6). Each of the 10 ROCKONSIN State Finalist bands will perform a 20 minute showcase set.
The 2024 winning and runner-up bands will win a second Summerfest gig performing a 45 minute set each on July 6th on the Aurora Pavilion Stage at The Big Gig (runner-up: 12:45p – 1:30pm; winner: 2:00p -2:45pm).
2024 ROCKONSIN, brought to you by the Nicholas Family Foundation, invites all statewide 7th – 12th grade Badger State garagebands, of any musical genre, to apply by sending in a one song (cover or original) video of their band’s performance.
Bands can sign up and apply Free beginning March 1 at www.rockonsin.org and can run off a free application poster.
Three music industry professionals will review and score out all band application videos to determine the Top 10 State Finalist bands invited to Summerfest for the finals competition.
Each of the Top 10 State Finalist bands selected will receive two Shure microphones (one vocal & one instrument mic each with cords) and will perform 20 minute showcase sets.
The winning band will also receive from Shure a wireless vocal microphone system.
The winning and runner-up bands will each receive a second 45 minute showcase gig at Summerfest 2024. Each winning band member will also receive a ROCKONSIN Award.
The top two bands will also each receive a professional recording session at Madison’s Blast House Studios (12 hours for the winner and 8 hours for the runner-up).
Key 2024 ROCKONSIN features:
There is NO registration fee; never any associated costs to participate.
The 10 State Finalist bands will each perform a 20 minute showcase set.
A band can be a combination of Wisconsin students in 7th - 12th grade. All band members must be enrolled in a Wisconsin public, private, virtual, charter or home school during the 2023/2024 school year.
The band must be comprised of two or more musicians, one member of the band must be a vocalist.
Each band member of the 10 State Finalist bands selected must submit a school document verifying the Wisconsin school they are attending; more information can be found at www.rockonsin.org. You do not need to submit a school document when applying, this is ONLY required if your band is chosen as a state finalist.
Each band will be asked to submit one video (bands should not incur the expense of professionally videotaping their song – using a smart phone or a hand held video camera will do the trick) of the band performing either one cover or original song and submitting a link to that video, in addition to filling out their band application at www.rockonsin.org. Bands should video close enough so that one can see the band members actually playing or singing; and include the songwriting credit and lyrics.
