The Millersville Community Parade was started in 1997 by a group of volunteers dedicated to improving relationships between the Borough of Millersville, Millersville University, Manor Township and surrounding communities. Since then, the Millersville Community Parade has quickly evolved into one of Lancaster County's largest and most dynamic parades.

Parade entries range from Philadelphia Mummers in "full-plume" to handmade floats by area children's groups. The Millersville Community Parade Committee works hard to bring high quality bands to the parade each year from as far away as Baltimore and New York City. With antique cars, music, dancing, animals, floats and clowns, to name just a few of the many things entered each year, the Millersville Community Parade has something for every family to enjoy.

The Millersville Community Parade is made possible by the help of nearly 100 area volunteers as well as thousands of dollars in financial contributions from Millersville area businesses, Millersville University and the MU Alumni Association. Please consider volunteering your time or becoming a parade sponsor. All contributions of time and money are greatly appreciated.

The Millersville Community Parade was honored to receive a CASE Circle of Excellence award for special event programming.
