The Good Neighbor Festival kiddie parade begins at the EAST entrance to Middleton High School and ends at the festival ground

Infinity Martial Arts Kiddie Parade

The Infinity Martial Arts Kiddie Parade kicks off our festival on Friday night.  Lineup begins at 5 pm at the main entrance to Middleton High School on Bristol Street. The parade gets underway at 5:30 pm.

​

Kids are encouraged to decorate their bikes, scooters, strollers, wagons or whatever means of transportation they will use through the parade.  We'd love to see the kiddos dressed up as their favorite circus animals, ring leaders, clowns or acrobats!

​

The first 200 participants will receive a balloon at the start of the parade and can pick up a goodie bag from Infinity Martial Arts and other Good Neighbor businesses at the Infinity Martial Arts booth on the festival grounds
