As the first festival that kicks off summer each year, our festival is more than just an event; it's a tradition. It's a time when friends reconnect, families make memories, and our community comes together to enjoy great food, live music, exciting rides, and the fellowship that makes our town so special.
Our parade on June 6, 2026, was a wonderful celebration of community spirit, patriotism, and pride as we honored America's 250th Birthday and paid tribute to our veterans. Although the temperatures were soaring, the enthusiasm and support from participants and spectators never wavered.
To all of our parade entries, thank you. Thank you for your time, your creativity, and for braving the heat to help make this one of the most memorable and impressive parades we have had in recent years. The streets were lined with smiling faces, and by Saturday, you could truly feel the excitement and community spirit that had been building since the start of the festival. The parade was an incredible way to wrap up the week and was undoubtedly one of the highlights of this year's celebration.
As you look through these photos, we hope they bring back some great memories from this year's festival parade. Feel free to like, tag, and share with friends and family.
Most importantly, thank you to everyone who played a part in making this year's festival such a success, including our volunteers, sponsors, participants, vendors, entertainers, and every person who came out to celebrate with us. Your support is what keeps this tradition alive year after year.❤️
Even though we've already said this, we'll say it again...
From all of us on the festival board, thank you for making the 2026 Albion Chain O'Lakes Festival a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience.
We are already looking forward to welcoming you back in 2027.
Enjoy your summer! 🤩🇺🇸🎡🎠🎟️🍔
