| Tour de Terrace parade |
According to reporting in MLTNews.com the Tour de Terrace multi-day festival in Mountlake Terrace has been cancelled for lack of funding.
The Tour was started and funded for years by a single family, former MLT Mayor Jerry Smith and his wife Judi. They officially retired the event in January of this year, after 30 years.
A new non-profit group, MLTCares.com announced that they would take it over. However, they were able to raise only a portion of the $50,000 cost.
The Seafair-sanctioned parade will go on as scheduled Friday, July 18, 2025 starting at 6:45pm. Attendees can expect floats, marching bands, classic cars and a parade full of community leaders and first responders.
There are still opportunities to be a part of the parade, with applications due July 10, 2025.
For more information, visit the MLT Cares website.
Event Address: 22205 56th Ave W
Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043

Oh no! I honestly don’t hear about any fundraising to save this event. Would have gladly donated! I hope they can figure out how to continue this for next year. We always love the pancake breakfast especially! ❤️🥞
Had I known - I certainly would have made a donation. Did MLTCares reach out to the community?
This is the first time I've heard of donations, seems to be a lack of outreach
Extremely disappointing as I have family from out of town that like to visit every year, specifically to bring their younger kids to tour de terrace :( we definitely would have donated to make this happen.
I agree that there was a lack of communication about the fundraising. I would have donated, as well. We enjoyed it last year and were planning on going again this year.
this is sad, this city had nothing for us to do anymore especially during the hot summer months. i think most of us would be more than willing to donate to keep this going
