Did you know that Oktoberfest in Munich has hosted a parade every year since 1810, originally to celebrate the royal wedding of Prince Ludwig and Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen?
We're keeping that tradition alive right here in Lee's Summit with our very own Once Upon a Wagon: A Fairytale Parade!
Saturday, Sept. 28 at 10 a.m.
Whimsical hand-pulled wagons will roll through the heart of the festival, bringing magic and cheer down 3rd and Douglas Streets!
You won’t want to miss the creativity, the candy, and the chance to cheer on local businesses and organizations as they bring fairytale floats to life.
A pair of lively emcees will be stationed at the intersection of Douglas and 3rd, entertaining the crowd and introducing each enchanting wagon. This is your chance to experience a little bit of Oktoberfest magic in our community—and you may even catch some sweet treats tossed your way!
Bring the whole family, wave to the parade participants, and enjoy the creativity that fills the streets.
Prizes and major bragging rights are on the line for the top wagons, and we’re ready to celebrate the season in true fairytale fashion!
We can't wait to see you there!
