Twilight Parade

Each year, the Du Quoin State Fair holds a Twilight Parade to proudly announce the opening of the annual showcase in Du Quoin. The 2025 parade will be held on Friday, August 22nd at 6pm.

The annual Twilight Parade will be self-contained on fairgrounds property. The staging area for the parade will take place on Executive Drive, just south of the mile track, just inside Gate 8 off of Bob Green Drive. The parade will step off from the south end of Grandstand Avenue and make its way to Main Street. From there the parade will turn west on Main Street and continue to Pacer Avenue. The parade will turn south onto Pacer and exit Gate 6 back on to Bob Green Avenue.
