Freedom in Full Gear at the Redmond 4th of July Parade!

There’s no better way to celebrate Independence Day than alongside the Central Oregon community, and this year’s Redmond 4th of July Parade was one for the books.

With 90 floats entered by local businesses, community organizations and beyond, this year’s parade was one of the largest yet. Thousands of spectators lined the streets of downtown Redmond to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday, creating an unforgettable atmosphere filled with patriotism, community spirit, and summer fun.

This year, Kendall Central Oregon was proud to partner with the Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo as we helped build excitement for this year’s fair and the Free Summer Concert Series, proudly presented by Kendall Toyota of Bend. The Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo team rode through the parade in their “Powered by Kendall” truck, towing a people mover filled with Fair & Rodeo Association team members and joined by the DCEF Cheerleaders.

Close behind, the Kendall crew proudly rolled through town on our flatbed truck, embracing this year’s theme, Driven by Freedom. Filled with Kendall staff and families, our float brought plenty of excitement as we launched T-shirts, tossed cowboy hats, and handed out candy to paradegoers of all ages. Seeing so many smiling faces along the route reminded us why this tradition is one of our favorite community events each year.

A special thank you goes to our incredible Kendall families, whose enthusiasm and participation helped make this our most memorable parade yet. We’d also like to thank the Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo for partnering with us to kick off another exciting fair season, and the Redmond Chamber for organizing another outstanding 4th of July celebration for our community.

We are proud to celebrate the freedoms we enjoy and even prouder to celebrate alongside the community we are honored to serve. Happy Independence Day from all of us at Kendall!
