An estimated 2,000 people lined the streets of Lamont to take in the parade on July 9.

‘Celebrating Homegrown Roots & Heritage’ was the theme of the parade that featured 70 plus floats. Mayor Kirk Perrin said, “This was a fantastic return to parade year for the town!” Perrin was grateful to Fortis Alberta for sponsoring the parade with additional support from the Town of Lamont, Lamont & District Agricultural Society, and Fort Saskatchewan & Lamont Regional Chamber of Commerce.
