Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo Parade

2011 Theme
"Come To The Cowboy Carnival"

The Corn Palace Stampede Committee is pleased to announce the theme for the 41st Annual Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo Parade. 2011's theme is "Come To The Cowboy Carnival." The parade will be held on Saturday, July 16, 2011 at 10:30 AM on Mitchell's Main Street and returning down Lawler Avenue.

The parade is always a highlight of our rodeo celebration and welcomes thousands of people to Mitchell's Downtown area. The parade gives our creative volunteers an opportunity to decorate a float or entry with western flair or to best depict, the theme, "COME TO THE COWBOY CARNIVAL."
