KYLE
Founders’ parade on Saturday
Kyle Parks and Recreation will host the 2021 Founders Parade on Saturday at 10 a.m.
The parade begins at Gregg-Clarke Park and continues along Center Street to Front Street in City Square. Immediately after the parade, there’s a city birthday celebration on Burleson Street with birthday cupcakes, music, and family activities. This year’s prime theme is “Keep it Kyle”.
Parades through downtown around mid-October have been plated since Kyle, and the first lots were sold in October 1880.
The best places to see Founders Parade are on either side of Center Street between Gregg-Clarke Park and Mary Kyle Hartson City Square Park. For safety reasons, the city asks participants to stay on sidewalks or grassy areas along Center Street and not to walk into the street when the parade passes.
