It is true that most people do in fact love a parade. It is evident why year after year, decade after decade, Festival-goers have looked forward to the Kindleberger Summer Festival parade! Celebrating 40 years of tradition, the 2022 Kindleberger Summer Festival Parade returns to the streets of downtown Parchment on SAT, JULY 9TH!  “This parade is a lively recognition and appreciation of the local businesses and organizations where Parchment citizens work, eat, play, attend a community of faith, and create community!” 

The event will feature parade entries of all shapes and sizes, all participants led by the parade 2022 Grand Marshal! The Festival Grand Marshals are community members who have made a significant impact on the Parchment community, and for our 40-year anniversary, we chose a resident who has a long history with the Kindleberger Summer Festival, a true theatre alum. The unanimous choice for this year’s Grand Marshal is Terese Banner! The Festival is extremely proud of and thankful for the many years of Terese’s outstanding dedication to the Parchment community as a district teacher and her dedication to the Kindleberger Summer Festival as an actor and Performing Arts Chairperson. Please read Terese’s bio and be sure to come out on Festival Day, Sat, July 9^th, to cheer for Terese, her accomplishments, and contributions!
