Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Seniors will be recognized for the second year in a row with a “parade of graduates.”
“The plans were started early on, not knowing for sure that there would be an in-person graduation,” said Parkland Mayor Rich Walker.
Taking place on Saturday, June 5, from 9:00 a.m. until noon, this special event will be complete with decorated vehicles, MSD attire, city officials, and of course, a few surprises.
“It’s fantastic we’re able to have the parade again this year,” said Walker. “I look forward to seeing the excitement of the students.”

Vehicles will exit North Community Park via Pine Island Road

The route ends as vehicles pass MSD
