Firemen's Parade

Sunday, May 6 @ 11am

Begins at the intersection of Blake Court & Menard St.; ends at fairgrounds

A crowd favorite of the Firemen’s fair is the annual Firemen’s Parade, one of the longest-running parades in all of Louisiana. It rolls through Thibodaux on Sunday, the last day of the fair, at 11 a.m. Each year the parade has a different theme, and spectators enjoy watching Thibodaux’s firefighters roll through the streets on decorative floats and fire trucks. The parade route begins by St. Joseph’s Elementary School at 501 Cardinal Drive and proceeds down Menard Street, Fifth Street, and St. Mary’s Street. The parade then turns down Tiger Drive and ends at the fairgrounds.

The 2018 Firemen’s 5k & Fun Run will mark the event’s seventh anniversary, and we’re going to make it an event to remember. Those who wish to participate in either event may register at fair ticket booths on the Friday afternoon of the fair and at the event registration tables on Saturday morning. Registration for the 5k will cost $20, while the Fun Run will cost $10. The Fun Run begins at the fairgrounds entrance at 7:30 a.m., and the 5k begins at 8 a.m. The route will bring participants through Thibodaux’s historic Downtown District before leading them to the finish line at the fairgrounds entrance, where commemorative Firemen’s Marathon Medals and refreshments will be waiting for everyone who crosses the finish line.
