Uncle Sam on stilts is a patriotic parade staple. Coin collectors and kids love collecting the annual Labor Day Parade coin, which are handed out by the Gaithersburg Mayor and City Council from their festive trolley. Little ones are thrilled to be showered with candy and stickers, given out by various organizations and political candidates. Bands and dancers from countries including Bolivia, Panama, and China share their cultures with the crowd, and high school groups from around the county march to classic and contemporary tunes with dynamic drumlines and color guards. Athletic organizations such as skateboarders, roller derby competitors, and cheerleaders display their skills. Different movie characters and business mascots visit each year.
