Join the Celebration: 
Kaysville’s Historic Main Street Parade
July 4th, 2026

As we enter September, which is recognized as American Founders and Constitution Month in Utah, it’s the perfect time to look ahead to July 4, 2026, when America celebrates its 250th anniversary.  Independence Day 2026 will be more than just another July 4th holiday. It’s an iconic moment in our nation’s history, and Kaysville is ready to honor it in a big way. That’s why we’re inviting YOU—our neighbors, local entrepreneurs, schools, churches and civic groups—to take part in the 2026 Kaysville Main Street Parade.

Why Join the Main Street Parade?

• Be Part of History: This is a unique and meaningful moment—America’s 250th birthday. Your participation ensures Kaysville plays an active role in this national celebration.

• Showcase Local Pride and Patriotism: Whether you're a business, church, civic group, school organization, or just someone who wants to get involved, this is your chance to show the heart of Kaysville pride and love for America.

• Build Community Spirit: The Main Street Parade is about connection. Families and friends gather together to wave flags, to cheer for unsung heroes, and to celebrate our American freedoms and responsibilities.

• Inspire Future Generations: The Main Street Parade is an opportunity to help our youth understand what it means to love America. Creative floats, patriotic costumes, choirs and bands entertain and educate parade spectators as we focus on our shared American history and culture

How You Can Get Involved:

• Register an Entry – We eagerly anticipate the entry of patriotic floats, decorated cars and trucks, and local choirs and bands that will perform American music along the parade route.  We look forward to Kaysville citizens portraying the founding fathers and mothers of America and others creating floats rooted in American historical events.  What piece of American history or culture will your entry promote?  Think George Washington, John and Abigail Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Betsy Ross, the Liberty Bell, Uncle Sam, Davy Crockett, the Statue of Liberty, baseball, and “as American as apple pie” – we want it all!

• Volunteer – A parade of this magnitude takes effort.  Volunteers are needed to help with every aspect of the parade—organization, recruitment, logistics, and parade day setup.  Volunteer to be part of the engine that makes this annual celebration run smoothly.

This isn’t just another year. This is 250 years in the making. Let’s come together to create a Main Street Parade celebration that our children and grandchildren will remember for decades to come.

Parade registration will open January 2026—watch the city website, Facebook page and newsletter for updates!

For additional information, please contact Kaysville Parade Director, Heidi Christensen, at kaysvilleparadedirector@gmail.com.  Let’s collaborate to pull together an incredible parade.  

Let’s make history together, Kaysville. See you on the parade route!

Rabies Awareness: Protecting Yourself, Your Family, and Your Pets

The Davis County Health Department, in partnership with Davis County Animal Care and Control, is raising awareness about the risk of rabies to both people and pets—especially as Utah’s bat population begins migrating with the change of seasons. Bats are the most common carrier of rabies in Utah, with cases found every year—including four rabid bats in Davis County last year.

Rabies affects the brain and nervous system and is almost always fatal if not treated right away. It spreads through the saliva of infected animals, usually by a bite or scratch.

The Davis County Health Department has compiled a Rabies Communications and Resource Guide to help residents understand the risks and know what to do in the event of an exposure.

Protect yourself and your pets:
- Keep pet vaccinations up to date.
- Avoid contact with bats and other wild animals.
- If bitten or scratched, wash the wound, seek medical care immediately, and report the incident.
- Report any bat found in a sleeping area, even without visible bites.

Contacts:
- Davis County Health Department: 801-525-5220
- Animal Care of Davis County: 801-444-2200
- Utah Division of Wildlife Resources: 801-476-2740
