**PARADE route is "Main Street" to "Park Street"
On July 11, 2021, the Brooten American Legion Flag detail leads the way for the BVD parade that summer as the community punched its way out of the pandemic.
Here's the official Bonanza Valley Days "Feelin' Alive in 2025" Grand Parade lineup. The parade is on Sunday, July 13. A few spots are marked "open" in order to accomodate same-day parade registration. Please share this article on your social media feeds so others can see the lineup. Thank you for attending Bonanza Valley Days events in Brooten! Our community appreciates all of you.
The parade route: staging is at the B-B-E elementary parking lot and nearby streets, and then down to Railway Avenue along the train tracks on the north side of Brooten. The parade begins at 1:30 p.m. on the north end of Central Avenue (Main Street) by the KaDe Shack and laundromat. It track south on Main Street and then south on County Road 18 as it crosses Highway 55. Still going south, it turns west (right) at Park Street, where it then goes to Western Avenue. At that intersection, it tracks north for the final bend, where parade units either shoot north to Highway 55 or turn left to the Brooten Pavilion.
A free ice cream social, sponsored by Bonanza Valley State Bank, is at the Brooten Pavilion following the parade. The Miss Brooten Pageant is at the Brooten Pavilion starting at approximately 3 p.m. depending on the length of the parade.
