Dive into a heartwarming slice of community spirit with the beloved Small Fry Parade, where the tiniest members of our community take the spotlight in a parade designed just for them. This cherished event invites parents, businesses, schools, and groups to showcase our adorable “littles” in a delightful, miniaturized procession. Featuring kiddos aged 0-6, this parade unfolds in Downtown Paris, bright and early the morning after the Grand Parade, setting the stage for the exhilarating Catfish Races.
Witness the joy as our little stars parade down the route, either walking with big smiles or riding atop whimsical, non-motorized floats that are lovingly pulled along by hand. From a beaming Humpty Dumpty to a tiny Elvis or even a colorful marching band of crayons, this parade is a treasure trove of fun surprises, perfect photo opportunities, and endless “Awwww…” moments that will melt your heart.
