Infinity Martial Arts Kiddie Parade - Friday, August 25th at 5 pm
Our festival is so great we can’t have just one parade, so we decided to have two!!
The Infinity Martial Arts Kiddie Parade kicked off the whole festival on Friday, August 25th
Kids of any age decorated their bikes, trikes, scooters, wagons or strollers and joined in the fun. There was a martial arts demonstration before and after the parade, the first 200 kids received a balloon at the start of the parade and an awesome drawstring goodie bag from Infinity Martial Arts and other Good Neighbor businesses at the end of the parade.
