Parades are some of the best family fun in the summer.  They’re free, you get candy, and it doesn’t take a lot of effort to show up and cheer.  Bring a blanket or a chair –  oh, and some pillowcases for all the tootsie rolls you’ll be collecting.

Also check out our  Festivals & Fairs: Year-Round Family Guide.
