The Circus City Festival in Peru, Indiana is July 13-20, 2019. On the concluding Saturday of the festival, the CCFI hosts the only circus heritage parade in the United States. Authentic circus wagons, clowns, calliopes, wild animals, floats, and bands make their way down the center streets of the town. This parade is the longest running circus parade in the country and the second largest parade in Indiana.

Plans are in the works for Brickyard Chapter and North Central Indiana Chapter to ride in the parade. We may be limited to the number of participants. Participants would “dress appropriately” with clown nose and wig.
