The main parade will be held Sunday, June 27, 2010 at 4:00 p.m. with the line-up beginning at 3:00 p.m. The line-up will be at the Town Municipal Complex and along Lantern Road. The parade route will step off at Lantern Road and 116th Street, continue west on 116th Street to Holland Drive, and north on Holland Drive to the park. We’re very excited at the exposure this will give the parade.  As one of the largest town festivals and parades in the state of Indiana, we hope you will choose to celebrate this special event with our town. The festival has a variety of events taking place the entire weekend.  Please bring canned goods, non-perishable foods, new toys and new school supplies to the parade.  Youth from the local Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts will be collecting these items along the parade route.
