Join us in downtown Kentville for the most popular event of the entire year!   The Annapolis Valley Apple Blossom Festival's Children's parade is the most fun you'll have this season, guaranteed.  

The Children's Parade leaves Town Hall on Main Street at 10:00 am, proceeds North down Bridge, turns Westward onto Webster, and travels all the way to the intersection of Main and Webster (by the Post Office).  From there, the parade turns Eastward and proceeds straight down Main Street all the way back to Town Hall. 

Join us in Kentville for another favourite signature event of the Annapolis Valley Apple Blossom Festival!
