The Lincoln Highway Parade of Kishwaukee Fest is starting to become a wonderful annual event that everyone should see. Come out and be part of all the excitement during this fantastic evening parade this Friday, June 27th, as it travels down 7th Street and up Lincoln Highway and ends at 2nd Street in Downtown DeKalb. Come early to see the pre parade classic car and motorcycle cruise as they travel up and down Lincoln Highway between 6-7pm, before parking at the end of the parade route (Lincoln Highway and 2nd Street).

Enjoy the sights and sounds of classic cars and motorcycles as they cruise up and down Lincoln Highway before the parade.  This is a fun way to see the classics in action doing what they do best, cruisin’ the strip. Enjoy spending time with your friends and family checking out the unique paint jobs, fancy rims and old school styles before the big parade starting at 7pm.
