Our Festival and parade have been postponed for 2020 due to COVID-19.
We will not be having the parade on Fathers Day Weekend this year. We may try to schedule a smaller parade later in the summer or fall if allowed. Please check back or on our social media accounts for further information.
The signature event of Parktacular is the Grand Day Parade. The parade became a staple of summer in St. Louis Park even before the celebration was named Parktacular. Year after year, curbs are covered with blankets and boulevards are lined with chairs to watch. The Grand Day Parade takes place rain or shine and is one of Parktacular’s most popular events.
