The show will go on – rain or shine. Any lightning will prompt us to delay the parade in 15 minute intervals.

Honoring U.S. Veterans and America’s 250th Birthday

The Big Top Parade will return to the streets of downtown Baraboo on Saturday, June 13, 2026. The main event — the Big Top Parade — kicks off at 11:00 a.m. Along with our grand marshal, the parade features traditional circus parade units and circus-themed entries created by community groups and businesses. Young and old will be enthralled by the historic circus wagons, marching bands, community floats, horses and of course, a cavalcade of clowns!

Join us for America’s 250th Birthday themed parade and star-spangled celebration in downtown Baraboo!
