🌈 About the Interdependence Art Parade in Berea
The Interdependence Day Parade began as a community project in the Clear Creek neighborhood of Rockcastle County, initiated by Clear Creek Creative. For 2 years we paraded down our little country road. Now the parade is moving to TOWN!
This is a walking parade and the route is about 1 mile. No motorized vehicles are allowed, but strollers, wheelchairs, bikes, and other things on wheels are welcome! The parade will go down Broadway toward the skate park and move along the walking path in the park. Everyone is invited to keep the party going with a free concert in the Berea skate park at 6:30.
The 2025 Interdependence Day Parade is a collaboration between Clear Creek Creative, The Year of Mud, Berea Arts Council, First Friday Berea, Rebel Rebel Studio and Lounge, Berea Arts Council, and YOU!
This project in celebration of the America250KY is supported with funding from the Kentucky Historical Society and Kentucky Arts Council
