APPLETON, Wis. (WFRV) – The nation’s oldest Flag Day parade will once again honor “Old Glory” this June, and organizers have announced a significant change to the Appleton Flag Day Parade’s route.
Held annually on the second Saturday in June since 1950, the Appleton Flag Day Parade is once again set to attract hundreds of participants and more than 50,000 spectators to Downtown Appleton. This year’s theme is “Stars, Stripes, and New Beginnings.”
This year, however, a significant change has been made to its route, utilizing the same route as the Downtown Appleton Christmas Parade. Officials say the new route is more ‘contained’ and will move east along College Avenue from State Street to Drew Street.
