In 2007 it had a "green" theme and even had two aircraft "buzz" the parade. While the parade was not held in 2009, it returned in 2010 with a theme of "Books, Bubbles and Balloons." In 2011, the theme was "Fun, Food, and Fitness", while in 2012, it was "Cars, Crafts, and Country". 2012 had the biggest turnout for the De Bruce parade since the start of the tradition. There were 50 antique cars, numerous organizations, businesses, a firetruck, and the MountainTones marching band. The band got its start at the De Bruce parade, and has played at many other events and parades around Sullivan County.
