Who doesn’t love a parade, and village of Kalida takes pride in putting on the biggest parade in Northwest Ohio for their Pioneer Days.
It took over one and a half hours to get around 350 units through the village for 2019 edition of the parade. Bands, businesses and first responders from all corners of Putnam County were one hand to wave to people along the parade route and throw some candy to the kids. The parade is one of the biggest events during the four day festival, along with the car show and the chicken wing eating contest. Thanks to a lot of volunteers the Kalida Lion’s Club and Fire Department are able to put on the yearly festival, which raises funds that they can reinvest back into the community.
