We’d love to partner with local businesses who want to support Pawnee, the Dick Tracy Museum, and our community. ❤️

We’re also closing 6th Street in front of the museum and inviting local vendors to join us FREE of charge! And if you’re a local business, organization, or community group, we’d LOVE to see you bring a float and join the parade! 🎈🚗

Interested in sponsoring, vending, or bringing a parade float? Send us a message! or email us at [email protected] 🙂

We can’t wait to bring a little bit of Dick Tracy, a little bit of Pawnee, and a whole lot of community together again.

Stay tuned. There’s a lot more coming! 🕵️‍♂️💥
