Playground Parades (AKA Doll Buggy Parades) - 4th of July
The Playground Parades (also known as the Doll Buggy Parades) have been a tradition in the parks for nearly 100 years. Children throughout Racine carry on this annual Independence Day celebration by building small floats and decorating bikes, wagons, scooters...and themselves...to march through the city's area parks and neighborhoods. The parades are open to all families who wish to participate, and spectators who wish to cheer on the children and all their hard work!
