Strawberry Festival Grand Parade

Grab your chairs and line the streets!

The Grand Parade begins in downtown Lebanon at West Rose Street, traveling along Highway 20/Main Street through the heart of town. The route continues past cheering crowds and local landmarks, ending just beyond Wilco Farm Stores at Market Street. Come early to grab a good spot and enjoy one of Lebanon’s favorite traditions!
The Grand Parade is a showcase of the many organizations, groups, and people that make up our favorite town.  This is a traditional parade, dating back to our Festival's start in 1909, and hosts over 100 entries each year. 

The parade includes dance groups, bands, large floats, motorcycles, and everything in between! We see such creativity every year with the entries celebrating the annual theme of Strawberry Festival.

After the parade, we hope you can join us at Cheadle Lake Park for Saturday of the Festival and get a slice of our Strawberry Shortcake!
