Registration Now Open for the 9th Annual Children’s Parade
It’s time to unleash your imagination and get your floats ready for the 9th Annual Children’s Parade on Wednesday, July 26 in downtown Appleton. Presented by ThedaCare, the Parade invites families to express their creativity by parading in costume, riding decorated bikes or other non-motorized transportation. Registration is free, but required, at buildingforkids.org.
The parade line up begins at 5:15 p.m. in Houdini Plaza. The parade steps off at 6 p.m. with participants marching east on College Avenue, turning left on Drew Street and ending in City Park. In City Park after the Parade, there will be a Fox Valley Food Truck Rally, music with 95.9 KISS FM and family activities. “The Lego Batman Movie” will play at dusk.
“This is one of our favorite events,” said Jarrad Bittner, Executive Director at The Building for Kids Children’s Museum. “Through the years we have seen pirates, princesses, heroes and everything in between. But the best part is seeing the excitement on the kid’s faces as they parade down College Avenue with their families and the community that comes out to cheer them on.”
Prizes will be awarded for individual and group floats for creativity, confidence, imagination and spirit.
Children’s Parade is part of Children’s Week, an annual community-wide celebration of kids.
