CANCELED: Big Top Parade

press release: Looking to safeguard the health of participants and spectators, organizers of the Big Top Parade and Circus Celebration have decided to cancel this year’s event. With the COVID-19 pandemic necessitating social distancing, parade organizers agreed it wouldn’t be wise to encourage a large gathering July 18 in downtown Baraboo.

Young and old will be enthralled by the circus wagons, marching bands, horses and other animals and of course, the cavalcade of clowns! This parade and all the events surrounding it get bigger and better every year.

The parade begins at 11 a.m., featuring nearly 100 circus and community entries traveling around the historic downtown courthouse square. Before and after the parade, the Baraboo area and our downtown will be filled with family-friendly events. The entire community will embrace the Western theme, and y’all will have a good ol’ time!
