Saturday’s Fall Fair festivities start each year with a parade down Agassiz’s main streets.

Floats made by families, businesses and organizations are on display in the parade, often incorporating the Fall Fair’s theme. This year, expect to see a few floats featuring man’s best friend for the Year of the Dog.

At 10 a.m. sharp, the parade will begin, heading west on Cheam Avenue before it turns onto Pioneer Avenue.

The parade will continue down Pioneer Avenue until it reaches the fairground gates, located at 6800 Pioneer Ave.
