Ridiculous Days: Kids Parade and Kiddie Tractor Pull

Kids Parade:

Get ready to march, dance, and shine at our upcoming Kids Parade as we celebrate the spirit of youth and creativity! 🎈

🎨 From superheroes to princesses, pirates to astronauts, every kid is a star in our parade! 🌈 Kids who would like to join the Ridiculous Day Parade are invited to line up in the parking lot of the UP Church starting as early as 4:30pm on Saturday, June 7. The parade will depart the parking lot with the kids near the front (after the emergency vehicles and Shriners). Kids can walk, ride their bike/scooter, have a wagon and we also welcome electric kid vehicles. The best part is, kids won’t miss out on the rest of the parade by being in it! Parents, we ask that you position yourself at the end of the parade route in front of the Washington State Bank so you can meet up with your kids, who can then join you and watch the remainder of the parade and catch some goodies from the floats!

📅 Let’s make memories together at the Kids Parade! 🎊

SIGN-UP FOR THE PARADE:

Get ready for some seriously silly fun at the Washington Ridiculous Days event! Join the excitement by taking part in this year’s parade. Participation is FREE to display your creativity, but if you’re feeling competitive, chip in $10 to enter the float showdown for a shot at winning a shiny trophy and a cash prize. The parade starts downtown at 5 pm. Let your imagination run wild and infuse your float design with a dash of absurdity! Sign up for the parade HERE

JOIN THE TRACTOR PARADE:

Tractors don’t need to register in advance to join in all the fun! Simply arrive at the fairgrounds and register in person between 2-4 pm. The tractors will depart at 4 pm from the fairgrounds. Questions for the Antique Tractor Parade can be directed to Jerome Vittetoe, 319-430-0797.

KIDDIE TRACTOR PULL CONTEST: Thursday, June 5 at 5pm

Round up your kids and pedal away to the Kiddie Tractor Pull Contest. Registration starts at 5pm and the contest begins at 5:30 on the NW corner of the square. This event is generously sponsored by the Washington Keokuk County Corn & Soybean Growers.

Celebrate Ridiculous Sales: Thursday – Saturday 9a-6pm, Additional Business Open on Sunday

Ridiculous Days offers 4 days (Thursday – Saturday, with most businesses open from 9am – 6pm, some businesses will be open on Sunday) worth of crazy deals, bargains and sidewalk sales from Washington retailers in the first weekend of June. Did you know you don’t have to have a physical location to sell your items? Registering to become a retail vendor gets you a spot somewhere in front of a business. Have one in mind? Let us know!
