It's a wrap! The 2026 edition of the Hog Days Parade is in the books. Definitely one of the warmer ones in recent years

We had 1 breakdown and 1 cancelation and no medical issues.

Great looking floats, A Navy band fantastic marching bands and musical entries that included some wonderful Hispanic music and dozens of horses.
Oh and a helicopter flyover. ELVIS was even spotted in the parade.

Guess that means one thing. We'll have to do it again next year!!

Mark your calendar: September 4th 2027. Be a part of it!!

We are just days away from the Kewanee Hog Days Parade! What might be a 1st in parade history is a land and air entry!

OSF Healthcare will have their usual land based entry in the parade ( #19) but this year they will have one of their Life Flight helicopters flying the parade route as we start the parade at 2:00 p.m.

So keep your eyes to the sky and see a little bit of Hog Days history in the making!! Thanks OSF
