Meridian Dairy Days Parade
Valley Regional Transit will be participating in the Meridian Dairy Days Parade, one of the Treasure Valley’s longest-running community traditions celebrating Meridian’s agricultural heritage and community spirit.
VRT will be showcasing our 250 American-wrapped bus, a crowd favorite that honors our nation’s history while highlighting the important role public transportation plays in connecting communities throughout the Treasure Valley. Community members are encouraged to watch for the bus along the parade route and give a wave as we help celebrate this beloved annual event.
The Meridian Dairy Days Parade brings together local businesses, community organizations, schools, first responders, and residents for a morning of family-friendly fun and hometown pride. VRT is proud to participate alongside so many organizations that help make the Treasure Valley a great place to live, work, and play.
Events like Dairy Days provide an opportunity for VRT to connect with the community, celebrate local traditions, and raise awareness about the transportation services and mobility options available throughout the region.
