Heights Schools Foundation will host an alumni watch party from the patio space in front of The Wine Spot. The parade kicks off right at 5:00 p.m. and portions of Lee Road and surrounding side streets will be closed to traffic, so please plan to arrive early.
5:00 pm
Scarborough Road near Fairfax School
The parade again starts on Scarborough Road near Fairfax School and makes its way north on Lee Road, all the way to the high school where it ends in the parking lot nearest the softball/baseball fields for a block party and tailgate. This year, three food trucks – The Urban Wrap Co., The Sweet Suite 216 (which will also offer sandwiches and wraps) and Heights Tropical Sno – will sell food to attendees. Families and fans can also reserve a spot in the lot for their car by registering for a Heights Athletic Boosters’ tailgate.
All school teams, clubs, groups and PTAs are encouraged to march free of charge, though they still need to sign up. Local businesses, nonprofits and candidates running for office are also welcome to march for a $25 fee. The registration form for all marching groups can be found here.
The entire community is invited to line the streets to cheer on everyone from high school musicians to middle school athletes to the cutest little Tigers marching with their elementary schools. The Lee Road Library will have two youth services staff on their front lawn with activities for families who choose that grassy space as their viewing spot.
