BLUE RIBBON TRADITIONS- THE 2026 PARADE

📍 Main Street TO the Fairgrounds, Kiowa
📅 Sunday August 2nd | 11:00 AM

Celebrate the enduring spirit of our community at the annual Fair Parade, the proud tradition that helps us close the County Fair. Rooted in tradition and guided by the values that define small-town life—family, service, pride, and unity—this beloved event brings neighbors together in a heartfelt tribute to American heritage. Featuring patriotic floats, local organizations, classic vehicles, and homegrown talent, the parade is a reflection of the strength and charm found in our close-knit community. We invite you to line the streets, wave your flags, and take part in a celebration that honors our past, embraces our present, and shines a light on the promise of days to come.

2026 Parade Marshal

Each year, a parade marshal is chosen based on their outstanding service, leadership, or contributions to the community. Whether through volunteer work, civic involvement, cultural advocacy, or personal achievement, the selected individual exemplifies the values and pride of our community. Honoring the Parade Marshal is a way for us to recognize and celebrate those who make a lasting difference.
