The 2007 Parade theme was "The Gift of Education". The Grand Marshals were Superintendent Jim Reese of Enterprise City Schools, Principal Rick Rainer of Enterprise High School, and Principal Hugh Williams of Hillcrest Elementary School.

The theme was decided upon to remind people that education is a gift. It provides almost unbounded opportunities for self-development and growth toward success and self-actualization. In many places, education is withheld to produce masses who don't speak out against absolute authority and lack of liberty.

The theme was also influenced by the consequences of the 1st of March, 2007 tornado that destroyed Enterprise High School and Hillcrest Elementary School and killed nine people, eight of which were EHS students. The community came together and helped in recovery after the disaster. Enterprise-Ozark Community College allowed Enterprise High School to resume operation by sharing its campus whenever possible.

The planned theme of the 2008 parade is simply "Christmas".
