2023 PA EX

Exhibition Parade has something for everyone

Aug 2, 2023 | 12:39 PM

From sword juggling to candy, horses, dogs and trying to figure out how the guy got on the giant bicycle, there were plenty of sights and sounds at this year’s Exhibition Parade.

Spectators lined the streets in anticipation and the parade started pretty much on time yesterday evening.

Weather also co-operated with warmth and sun as the floats went down Central Avenue before turning on River Street and making their way toward the Exhibition Grounds.
