Hometown Fest Parade

A Palatine Tradition

The goal of the parade is to show off the best of the best and celebrate how the Palatine community is shaped by those who are a part of it — from its social organizations to its businesses; from its local leaders to its fire and police departments, and other village entities.

 

Join us on the Saturday, July 5th

The Parade route is approximately one mile long. The parade line-up will follow N Cedar St going North and continue west on W Wood St. Step-off will be promptly at 11:00 am and proceed south on Cedar St. to Slade St., east on Slade St. to Brockway, north on Brockway to Wood St. and east on Wood St. into Community Park. Parade vehicles will continue south on N Oak St and disburse West on Slade.
