This Independance Day parade (held the day before the 4th because of it falling on the Sabbath Day this year) attracts a great crowd of people from Rexburg and the surrounding farming communities of Madison County. The parade is very old-style, with lots of entries by businesses, families, horse owners, old car owners, ancient tractors that are still operational, and beautiful old fire engines.

From almost every entry there is a rain of candy being thrown toward the parade watchers. Little children along the parade route scramble to grab up the candy as each entry goes by. It is a noisy, good time!
