Ketchum Kalf Parade
Our Sunday morning parade down Main Street is a tradition as old as the rodeo itself. Rooted in tradition and community pride, our parade honors the people, history, and values that define our town.
Each year we gather to celebrate with royalty, local organizations, and community members to remember why small town living is so meaningful.
First parade in 1934
