This year’s Round Lake High School Homecoming theme is Pantherpalooza "Festival Lights and Panther Nights."
This year’s parade will be on Saturday, August 29 at 10:00 am, and line-up will begin at 9:15 am at Beach Elementary School, 1421 Ardmore Dr, Round Lake Beach, IL 60073.
After the wonderful turnout we had last year, we are more excited than ever for this community event. We would love to have your schools, clubs, sports, and organizations participate in this parade. If you are interested in participating, please email Paul Dizon (pdizon@rlas-116.org) by Wednesday 8/19/2026. We can't wait to see all the magical and colorful floats!
Float Guidelines & Parade Route
The link below has the float guidelines and information on the parade route. Please review those documents carefully. All floats will be inspected before the start of the parade to ensure safety. Please note, there will be a designated parade line-up order this year. Floats/groups will line up accordingly and be checked-in upon arrival. All groups and students must line up on the grass. Only cars and floats will line up the road. This is critical! Once the parade starts, groups will be dismissed off the grass and follow the vehicles as directed. This change was implemented in 2022 and has worked out great. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any comments or questions.
RLHS Student Council looks forward to another successful Homecoming season. Thank you ahead of time for working with us to continue this RL tradition!
