YOUR THEME IDEAS

2024-Solstice-Scott-London.jpg

Every year Solstice reaches out to the public to get ideas for the Parade Theme.  The best themes are one or two words or  phrases which are general enough to inspire many different interpretations. We don't repeat themes, so please check the  themes from 1979-2025

Submit your ideas on the FORM on this page.  You can submit as many times as you like.  ​​​​​
