Community Pride Program:
Parade Initiative: The City wants you and your neighbors to take to the streets of Dublin during its Independence Day Parade. Build a float, decorate your kids bikes (see Bike Brigade), or just dress up and walk along. Civic and homeowners’ associations are eligible to receive one of three cash prizes for participating in the decorating contests. In addition, the City offers reimbursement for up to $150 for float-decorations costs. Click here or Call Community Relations at 614-410-4400.
