The parade kicks off at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, starting at the intersection of State Street (U.S. Highway 67) and Carpenter Street (Illinois Route 16) before proceeding down State Street.
Attendees can expect to see patriotic parade floats and color schemes at this year’s parade, which carries the Fair Week’s overall theme: “Party Like It's 1776: Happy Birthday America!” The theme ties the annual parade into Jersey County’s ongoing three-month-long “Salute to America” celebrations in honor of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
This year’s Jersey County Fair runs from July 14 to 19, 2026. More information about the parade and other Fair Week festivities are available at jerseycountyfair.com.
