SPD set to help provide a safe and enjoyable Lilac Festival Armed Forces Torchlight Parade
Spokane’s signature parade is back and Spokane Police will once again be providing security for the event. Parade goers will find a uniformed police officer and/or SPD volunteers at every intersection along the parade route. Additional behind the scenes safety measures will also be in place.
To help ensure the safety of everyone attending the parade as well as others in the area, SPD encourages everyone to follow a few safety tips:
The Lilac Parade is a fun event for families and people of all ages. Let’s work together to keep it fun by being safe! Be sure to wave at your SPD Motorcycle Officers who will be escorting floats and helping to keep the parade on course. And watch for SPD’s Officer of the Year, Tim Schwering, riding in the antique police car!
