Kool-Aid Days Grand Parade

 Our goal is to create a  colorful and interesting parade, which will not only celebrate Kool-Aid Days and the official arrival of  Kool-Aid Man, but will also showcase some of the other wonderful festivals, celebrations, and cultural  attractions in Nebraska. As well, we want to have all the elements of the parades many of us remember  form our childhoods, with horse, fire engines, kids, clowns, and of course, representatives of all the  important civic organizations in our area.  

We are expecting thousands of people to attend Kool-Aid Days event this year. We are excited to  announce that this year we are teaming up with the Oregon Trail Rodeo and the two events will be held  together, this is a wonderful opportunity for your organization to not only show your support for Kool Aid Days, but to make thousands of visitors aware of your work.  

Please consider joining us for this exciting event. The joy of Kool-Aid Days can be shown in many ways,  but our old fashioned "Grand Parade" is an obvious expression of our philosophy of creating an  affordable celebration for the whole family-"Kids of ALL Ages!"
