We had a stellar Parade and Festival in 2024 and we are very excited to have a repeat performance in 2025 and feel the public will also share in our excitement. We are currently seeking organizations that are interested in participating in the parade. The parade will follow a route on Patterson Blvd in Downtown Dayton culminating at Riverscape MetroPark which is where the festival will take place.
