2025 Parade Winners

A hearty thank you to all who participated in this year’s parade! Showing tremendous Northwest-Nordic spirit, parade participants bravely waited in driving rain and cold conditions, spurred on by the thunderous melodies from more than a dozen award-wining marching bands filling the streets of Ballard.

With the crack of the first notes, like some magical force field dreamt up by Brokk and Sindri, these bands conjured up performances that kept the rain at bay for the entire duration of the march.

Congratulations to our winners and thank you to our judges for their efforts in selecting these standouts from a very competitive field.

Special shout out to our Norwegian Consulate Award Winner: Barneleikarringen of Greater Seattle
