Do-Dah Parade 2026

The Do-Dah parade is a 40-year-plus tradition full of laughter, community celebration, and a little bit of the “how did they come up with that?” feel. It is focused on promoting businesses, organizations, and everything in between through the creative design of a parade unit. It is entertainment on the streets of downtown Kalamazoo. The parade date is Saturday, June 6, with step off at 11 a.m. This year, the Do-Dah Parade is celebrating all things Disney and Pixar. Whether you’re a fan of classic fairytales or modern Pixar masterpieces, come see how Kalamazoo "tells the story" of our community through the lens of your favorite movies. Pack your lawn chairs and get there early to grab a spot!
