Entries are now open for the 2025 Kewanee Hog Days Parade, set for Saturday, August 30th, at 2 PM, rain or shine. The Kewanee Chamber of Commerce is offering a fast and easy online registration option this year. This year’s whimsical theme, “Pigs Just Want to Have Fun!” encourages participants to get creative with their entries. Celebrating a major milestone, the parade will feature the 50th lineup from the Ambassador Club. The annual event promises lively floats, bands, and local spirit, drawing participants from across the region.
Mark Mikenas, Chamber Executive Director, said, “Entering is fast, easy and free by logging onto the chamber website at www.kewanee-il.com/parade It takes just a few minutes to register online and we encourage people to utilize this service.”
Candy and giveaways must be handed out—not tossed—and entries need to be decorated to reflect the theme. Political involvement is limited to one vehicle per party and per candidate. The parade caps at 125 entries, so organizers recommend securing a spot soon, with the deadline for entry being the close of business on August 18th. Registering online only takes a couple of minutes! Participants are encouraged to register online. You can register online or download and print an entry form and mail or deliver it to the Kewanee Chamber of Commerce at 113 East Second Street, Kewanee, IL 61443.
