Children’s Parade

Parade, 2008
This Cinderella-themed float took top honors in the 2008 edition of the Meadowbrook Children’s Parade

The Children’s Parade in June is a favorite event among kids of all ages, having been held annually since 1951. Each year a theme is established and neighborhood children enjoy dressing up and marching along. Participants often include a fire engine or ambulance, and the French Road Elementary School band traditionally leads the way.

Long followed by a neighborhood picnic under a tent, in recent years the parade has ended with an ice cream social and entertainment provided by a popular children’s band or entertainer.

The 2024 edition of the children’s parade and ice cream social was held on Sunday, June 2, 2024 at 11 a.m. After the parade, Rich the Magic Man provided entertainment.

Big thanks to this year’s event organizers: Anna Reguero, Joseph Sroka, and Greg Wood.
