Step right up for the 2026 Frontier Days Parade!

Get ready for a parade filled with history, hometown pride, and a whole lot of Frontier Days fun!

The 2026 Frontier Days Parade will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, and will once again stage at City Square around the Fort Dodge Public Library.

Please note: The parade route will be the same route as last year. We are NOT the organizers - this is a courtesy post. It appears the parade starts at 10 am. A full schedule of events can be found here: www.fortmuseumfv.com/schedule

Here's the route:
The parade will head east on 1st Ave N, then turn south for one block on 11th St, before turning west on Central Ave and ending back at City Square.

Whether you're marching, riding, waving from a float, or cheering from the sidewalk, we can't wait to see everyone celebrate Frontier Days in their own creative way - with a little nod to this year's "Passport to the Past" theme.

Important Parking Info:
No parking will be allowed along the parade route. Vehicles will be towed starting at 7:00 am on parade day, so please make sure to park elsewhere.

Quiet Zone on 11th Street:
11th St will be a quiet zone for the parade to help minimize noise for those with sensitivities. No sirens, horns, or loud noises will be permitted through this section.

Grab your family, pick your favorite viewing spot, and join the Frontier Days crew as they celebrate the past, present, and future of Frontier Days. We can't wait to see you at the 2026 Frontier Days Parade!

For more info, reach out to the Frontier Days committee at info@fortmuseumfv.com or (515) 573-4231.
