As we wrap Dew Days, please join us for the Grand Parade!! The parade route will go into the downtown area along OAK Street this year.

Steps off from Dakota County Fairgrounds at NOON.  Parade will run up 3rd street to Oak St, head right on Oak St and then and back down 4th street to the Fairgrounds.

The Children's Sensory Area will return to the parade. It is designed to be safe space for children to enjoy the wonders of the parade if they are sensitive to loud sounds. The sensory area will be located in the last couple of blocks on the route.  Look for signs to know you are in the correct area!
