Fall Parade Sign-Ups Open — Plus Midweek Happenings

Radcliff, KY · September 2, 2026

Midweek sunshine is bearing down early, making morning errands the smart move before the afternoon heat settles across the neighborhoods.

The Lead

Preparations for the annual Radcliff Days Parade and Cultural Festival are officially underway this week as city organizers open registration for community floats, youth organizations, and local vendors. The late-September tradition brings together dozens of civic groups, veterans, school bands, and cultural clubs along Lincoln Trail Boulevard to celebrate the city’s heritage.

Participating groups must register their vehicles and walking units with the parks department in advance to secure a place in the staging queue. Local food trucks and artisan booths can also claim spots at the festival grounds. Registration packets are available at the Colvin Community Center desk through next Friday, giving neighborhood clubs and business owners just over a week to finalize their lineups.
