Join Lincoln’s annual Fourth of July paradeGet your float ready for the July 4 parade! This year’s theme (recycling last year’s, as the parade was rained out) is “Lincoln: Something to Crow About!” First settled in the 1650s by farmers, Lincoln today is home to numerous farms and nearly 800 farm animals, including 417 chickens and roosters.

The top three winners will also receive Golden Rooster trophies.
