The Franklin Rodeo Parade brings the excitement of rodeo week to downtown Franklin with horses, floats, marching bands, and community groups moving through the historic district. Spectators gather along the route to watch riders, youth organizations, civic groups, and other participants take part in one of Franklin’s longstanding spring traditions.
Presented by the Franklin Noon Rotary Club, the parade has been part of the Franklin Rodeo since the first event in 1949. It gives families and visitors an early taste of the rodeo atmosphere and a chance to join the celebration before the professional competition begins.
