From the beloved Mountain Fifes & Drums to floats from our local businesses, the Jamboree Days parade brings out the kid in everyone. The parade kicks off at 10 am. Be sure to get your spot early, as there will be road closures. The parade route begins in Top Town Crestline (along Crest Forest Dr.) and heads down Fern to Lake Dr. towards Lake Gregory.
