Parade

Sunday, September 15th @ 2 PM

The 2019 Wheat Festival Parade theme is "Super Heroes vs. Villains". The parade will be held on Sunday, September 15th at 2 PM, weather permitting.

Entries

Some suggestions: Batman vs Joker, Superman vs Lex Luthor, Green Lantern vs Sinestro, Captain America vs Red Skull, Spider-Man vs Green Goblin, Professor X vs Magneto. And we can't forget about the women! Catwoman, Black Widow, Elektra, Poison Ivy, Mystique, Wonder Women, Jean Grey, and Sue Storm.

Theses are only suggestions, as any theme-related ideas are acceptable! 

Those entering a theme-related float will receive a stipend of $100 for their participation. This applies to any float eligible for competition, not just the top five winners!
