May 18, 2026

Neither rain nor hail could dampen the enthusiasm on display at this year's parade. With the theme of honoring the nation and celebrating neighbors, the 2026 Hazel Dell Parade of Bands took to the streets on May 16. Battle Ground Public Schools was well represented, with music from Chief Umtuch, Tukes Valley, Daybreak, Amboy, Laurin and Pleasant Valley middle schools, as well as Battle Ground and Prairie high schools. Great job by all of the students, staff members and volunteers!
