JOIN US AT THE MCHENRY FIESTA DAYS PARADE!
Put on your walking shoes and a smile and let's show we are proud to be a force in McHenry by marching with us at Fiesta Days.
WHEN: Sunday, July 19th, 2026 -- Stepoff at 1:30 pm. It will be crowded so please arrive by 12:30 or 1 at the latest, and if you wish to help decorate the float, please arrive at 11:30.
WHERE: We are Division 6 - Position 6, and the assembly point is the large empty lot on the south side of Main Street just west of the tracks and the Metra station, one block east of the intersection of Main Street and Crystal Lake Road.
The parade steps off from Mill Street and West Crystal Lake Road and terminates at Riverside Drive & Washington Street. The route is Main Street to Green Street to Pearl Street to Riverside Drive to Washington Street.
You can park at St. Patrick Catholic Church at 3500 Washington Street, which is near the parade terminus, and from 11:30 to 1pm we'll have a van to shuttle you over to the assembly point. The last van run will depart the church parking lot at 1pm sharp. Then after the parade you can ride on our float for the quick hop back to the church.
Here's a map showing the starting point, the terminus, and the parking location at the church. The blue line is the parade route, and the red line is the shuttle route.
