Calendar of Events

You’re invited to participate in the 16th Annual BFK Children’s Parade, presented by ThedaCare! During the parade, kids and their grown-ups stroll through downtown Appleton in themed costumes and non-motorized floats. Families are encouraged to brainstorm their theme together. Common themes include superheroes, sports teams, or repurposed Halloween costumes and often feature hand-made floats. The parade kick-offs in Houdini Plaza at 6pm. After the parade, join us in City Park for the after-party. Enjoy free activities, entertainment, food trucks, and an award ceremony! We’d love to see you at this summer tradition to celebrate the kids in our community!
