Perry County Parade 

Perry County Fair Parade

Since the very first fair in 1946, the parade has been a cherished tradition and the official kick-off to fair week. This year’s theme, Old Ways for New Days, invites participants to get creative, celebrate our heritage, and showcase fresh ideas inspired by the past.

Judging will take place during the parade at Farmers and Merchants Bank, with awards based on originality, creativity, and how well entries reflect the theme. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the route in the multi-purpose building at the fairgrounds.
