ThedaCare presents the BFK’s Children’s Parade of Yards
This year, the Building for Kids is reimagining our annual Children’s Parade into a parade of yards! Much like the driving tours of light displays we have come to know and love at the holidays, the BFK’s Parade of Yards will feature creatively decorated yards throughout the community. Families will come together to brainstorm their theme and will engage with each other throughout the design process. Then they will have the chance to add their address to a map so that families can take a driving tour to view the parade of yards!
This event is free, but registration is required. Your registration will ensure that your yard will appear on the map and be eligible for awards.
July 7, 9, 14, 16, 21, & 23 at 9:15 & 10:15 am
