Consumers Energy Community Royale Parade

Friday, July 10, 2026
Starting: 06:30 PM

Admission

Free

Celebrate the Consumers Energy Community Royale Parade, a heartwarming highlight of the National Cherry Festival!

This festive parade shines a spotlight on our beloved Jr. Royalty Program, where each participating elementary school and homeschool designs and builds a float inspired by this year’s theme: “Through The Years”

From creative youth-built floats and lively marching bands to visiting royalty, community organizations, and special appearances by National Cherry Queen Ainslee Hewitt and her court, this parade is packed with pageantry, hometown pride and a look through Festival's past.

Join us along the route and support the young stars of our community as they light up the streets in this magical midsummer celebration!
