The Belle Plaine PTO is excited to announce that we will be hosting the 2026 Parade during the Belle Plaine Downtown Festival on April 11, 2026, at 11:00 AM!

When we learned a parade was not scheduled this year, the PTO was happy to step in to help keep this beloved tradition alive for our community—and now we need YOU to help make it a great one!

We are actively seeking parade entries of all kinds! Whether you have:
🚗 a cool car 🚜 a tractor 🎨 a creative float 🐄 or even livestock
💥 CASH PRIZES will be awarded to the Top 3 Floats/Vehicles.

Youth Entries  Kids are invited to enter the parade with their bike, trike, scooter, wagon, or ride-on toy for a chance to win a CASH PRIZE for the best decorated ride!

💛 Entry Information
Youth Entries: FREE
Police, Firefighters, Military, and Shriners: FREE

All Other Entries: Donation-based with a suggested donation of $20 per group (not required, but greatly appreciated)

Donations help cover parade prizes, supplies, and event costs, with remaining proceeds supporting end-of-year school events for our students through the Belle Plaine PTO.

The form is pictured below. We will have paper copies around town and sent home with students. Here is a link to it as well: Parade Entry
