Vail America Days Parade 2025: Captured by High FiveAccess Media

The 2025 Vail America Days Parade, themed “Local Motion,” bringsa wave of hometown pride to the streets of Vail. With floats, music, and acelebration of the many ways we move through mountain life, it is a joyfultribute to the community—and once again, High Five Access Media (HFAM) will bethere to capture it all.

HFAM provides live coverage on Channel 5, streaming on highfivemedia.org, and Facebook Live, making the event accessible to viewers far beyond Vail. As a nonprofit community media center, HFAM preserves local traditions through professional-quality broadcasts and empowers the community to take part in the production process.

Be Part of the Parade Coverage

Each year, HFAM invites volunteers to help produce its live event coverage—including this iconic parade. Volunteers of all experience levels are encouraged to get involved in hands-on roles like camera operation, technical directing, and social media marketing. It’s a unique opportunity for both youth and adults to gain real-world experience in media, build valuable job and educational skills, and connect more deeply with the community.

Not into cameras? Join as a Brand Ambassador! You’ll talk with parade-goers about High Five’s mission to promote government transparency and free speech. We provide training and talking points, and we’re happy to work with your schedule.

Ready to get involved and help tell Vail’s story? Email Education Wizard Casey Russell to learn more and sign up to volunteer.
