Kyle Founders' Parade | Kids Out and About Austin

Kyle Founders' Parade


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 10/12/2024
The City of Kyle invites the community to share in the town’s birthday celebration at the annual Founders’ Parade on Saturday, Oct. 12 starting at 11 a.m. The town of Kyle was platted and the first lots sold sometime around the 15th of October, 1880. Parades through downtown around the middle of October have been a tradition since. The tradition lives on as we reflect and recognize the many founders of this great town. The theme for the 2024 parade is 'Growing Together.'

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Viewing the Parade:

The best locations to view the Kyle Founders' Parade are on either side of Center Street between Gregg-Clarke Park and Mary Kyle Hartson Park. To keep everyone safe, the city is asking attendees to stay on sidewalks or grassy areas along Center Street and to not run into the street when the parade is going by.

After Celebration:

After the parade, a celebration for the city’s birthday will be held on Burleson and Main Street and will include birthday cupcakes, music and lots of family fun along with the Kyle Market Days from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. 

Detour & Parade Route:

The parade route will start at Gregg-Clarke Park and travel along Center Street, ending at Front Street on the City Square. Center Street from Ramirez Street to just past Front Street will be closed to traffic during the parade. Traffic will be detoured using N. Front Street, Blanco Street, and Veterans Drive. Parade closures begin at 10:30 a.m. and will reopen as soon as the parade wraps up. 

There will be additional street closures for the October Market Days. Starting at 5:30 a.m. and going until 3 p.m. on Oct. 12 the following streets will be closed:
