Parade Route is a life-size bronze sculpture featuring a grandfather lifting his grandson onto his shoulders, capturing a moment of joy and wonder as they gaze at a perceived parade. Located at the corner of 15th Avenue NE and 175th Street in Shoreline, Washington, this evocative piece was unveiled in 2007 as part of the City of Shoreline's 1% for Art Program. Designed by Chris Bennett, the sculpture serves as a heartfelt tribute to the Celebrate Shoreline parade, which traditionally made its way down 15th Avenue each August. This charming depiction not only honors cherished memories of community celebration but also emphasizes the bond between generations. By showcasing this tender moment, the artwork enriches the North City neighborhood, inviting residents and visitors alike to reflect on the shared experiences that bring a community together.
