Eagle Festival Parade
The 2017 parade will take place Friday, October 13, at 3 p.m.
This year's theme is DISNEY MOVIES!! The parade is open, and local businesses and other groups may be allowed to participate with a float or some sort of entry. Please call Troy Ross at 989-464-0782 for more information.
The parade helps start off Eagle Festival with a bang. In it you'll see the fall sports teams, school class floats, and different clubs as well as local businesses and organizations. Every year the middle school and high school classes create floats around a theme. As they pass through town, the local businesses vote on the one they liked the best. The winning class is treated to a pizza party sponsored by Eagle Spirit Eagle Pride (Fairview Area Schools' parent organization).
