Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce
2025 4th of July Parade Float Competition Results

The Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the 50 float participants who brought the theme, “Where Creativity Runs Wild,” to life in this year’s 4th of July Parade Float Competition, sponsored by Mammoth Holistics.

Judges scored each float on Audience Reaction & Engagement, Creativity & Execution, and Adherence to Parade Guidelines. In a closely contested competition, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area took first place with their “Run Wild at Woolly’s Adventure Summit” float—featuring a hand-crafted evergreen forest and our very own Mammoth Mountain mascot, Woolly. In a generous show of community spirit, Mammoth Mountain is donating their $500 prize to IMACA (Inyo Mono Advocates for Community Action).

Other top-rated floats included:

• Noodle-Ly
• Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra
• Mono Arts Council
• Devil’s Creek Distillery
• Mammoth Landscape
• Destination Real Estate

From handcrafted hot springs and rainbow boba to whimsical barrel house gnomes, synchronized snowplows, and oversized fish, this year’s entries raised the bar on creativity and community pride.

We extend our congratulations to Mammoth Mountain and to every participant who made this year’s parade a colorful and unforgettable celebration.

Special thanks to our Grand Marshals, Chris Benchetler and Kimmy Fasani, for leading the way.
