Come Rain or Come Shine
Sunday, March 14th, at 3:00 pmOur parade is a family oriented event designed for everyone's enjoyment and participation. Spectators, in excess of 20,000 people, are always delighted with the antics of clowns, marching bands, entertaining Shiners', beautiful floats, and all the marching units and dignitaries. It is wonderful to see so many participants in this community event.
