The Kindleberger Arts Commission has an exciting summer of community entertainment and we invite you to visit Parchment for these annual events. The 2012 Kindleberger Festival week, Wednesday, July 11 through Monday, July 16, includes the annual family musical production, and youth play. Our car show, arts and crafts day, 5K community race/walk, parade, kid’s area, and food vendors are great opportunities for families to spend a day enjoying a wide-range of activities and community. The Festival and Concert Series are organized by volunteers and supported by donations, local grants and special fundraising events. They are truly locally-organized events that have been part of the Parchment community for a number of years. Be a part of our hometown atmosphere. We welcome you to visit Parchment and Kindleberger Park. 2012 information coming soon....in the meantime you can view last year's program of events below.

Pets must be on a leash and you are responsible for poop patrol! We will try to keep dogs away from cats, so please keep that in mind as you line up. We have no allowance for pet tricks as we want to keep the parade moving. Let's make our 1st Pet Parade lively and eye-popping! If you want to walk or pull your decorated dog or cat in the Parade,
