American Celebration on Parade is a unique and awe-inspiring tourist attraction located at Shenandoah Caverns in Virginia. It showcases historic parade floats used in Presidential Inaugurations and other iconic American celebrations, dating back to President Truman’s administration. The attraction offers visitors a rare glimpse into patriotic pageantry, art, and engineering, bringing history to life in a larger-than-life format.

The Challenge

Despite being one of the most visually striking and historically rich attractions at Shenandoah Caverns, American Celebration on Parade (ACP) was not receiving the attention or ticket sales it deserved. Compared to other attractions under the Shenandoah Caverns umbrella, ACP lacked individual recognition and online visibility.

The client came to Nexus Box with three core goals:

Increase awareness and highlight the attraction’s historical importance and unique value.
Create a dedicated digital platform to market ACP as a standalone experience and share its incredible story.
Improve the ticketing process to make purchasing easier for customers and to reduce operational strain.

Without a modern and tailored online presence, ACP was missing opportunities to reach new audiences, convert interest into visits, and properly reflect the majesty of its exhibit.

How We Solved It

Our Approach & Solution

Nexus Box took on the project with a clear mission: elevate American Celebration on Parade to the digital spotlight it deserved. Our strategy was built on a blend of compelling design, user-friendly functionality, and scalable marketing tools.

Website Design and Development

We crafted a vibrant and immersive website specifically for ACP. The site design emphasized visual storytelling through large, high-resolution images of the floats and colorful graphic elements. The layout was both inviting and educational, making the content accessible while drawing visitors deeper into the story behind each float.

Telling the Story of History

The website was structured to bring historical context front and center. Through curated content and powerful imagery, we showcased ACP’s link to Presidential Inaugurations, national parades, and the broader American cultural landscape. Visitors could now understand not just what they would see—but why it mattered.

Seamless Ticketing System

To streamline the visitor experience, we integrated Tickera, a modern and flexible ticketing system. This enabled customers to purchase tickets directly from the website, reducing wait times and administrative complexity for the client.

Scalable for Marketing Growth

The new website was built with marketing in mind. Whether running digital ads or relying on social media shares and word-of-mouth, the client now had a professional online presence that could serve as the hub for all promotional efforts.

Results That Speak

Since launch, the dedicated ACP website has driven:

Increased ticket sales due to an easier purchasing process.
Higher visitor engagement through modern design and storytelling.
Greater visibility and reputation, establishing ACP as a standalone destination worth visiting.
