Come Celebrate the City of Kyle’s Birthday at the Kyle Founders’ Parade and Market Days on Saturday, October 12 at Mary Kyle Hartson Park, 101 S. Burleson Street, in downtown Kyle.
Market Days gets started at 8 a.m. and goes until 1 p.m. and the Founder’s Parade begins at 11 a.m. along Center Street.
The town of Kyle was platted and the first lots sold sometime around the 15th of October, 1880. Parades through downtown around the middle of October. Today, the tradition lives on as we reflect and recognize the many founders of this great town. Before the parade, come check out local vendors including food, drink, arts and crafts, and farm-to-market items while enjoying live music, a playground for kids and areas to sit and visit with your friends and neighbors.
The theme for the 2024 parade is ‘Growing Together.’
Join the Parade! Registration opens Monday, August 5 at the link https://www.cityofkyle.com/recreation/2024-kyle-founders-day-parade-entry-form.
