Alexandria’s close association with George Washington and the founding fathers gives the city a unique story that distinguishes it from other colonial-era historic cities. By attracting tens of thousands of residents and visitors to Alexandria on Parade Day weekend, the annual George Washington Birthday Parade provides visibility to the city’s vast and diverse array of history and culture, and brings business to Alexandria merchants of all sizes.
But the Parade only can happen with the support of organizations like yours! The City provides an annual contribution, but the vast majority of funds to support parade expenses, including the cost for police and sheriffs who direct traffic and ensure public safety on a day when there are large crowds lining our streets, must come through sponsorships and donations.
Here’s how you can help!
Become a Parade Sponsor: Highlight your organization’s support for the community before, during, and after this special day and weekend! See Sponsorship Opportunities here.
Make a Donation: A donation of any size can go a long way. Make your donation here, and let us know if you would like your donation to be posted as a tribute to another, past or present!
Become an Old Town Business Donor: Highlight your business throughout this three-day weekend that brings thousands of residents and visitors to Old Town! Learn more about the Old Town Business Donors here!
