Siouxland’s Hometown Tradition Since 1964

Join us. Get involved. Have some fun!

For more than 60 years, the River-Cade Celebration has brought Siouxland together. We don’t squeeze the fun into one weekend. We start months before the parade and keep it going all the way through the Renaissance Festival in October.

What’s Happening

Meet the ambassadors who represent our community all season long, from the first event to the last.

Bring your best grin. It’s lighthearted, it’s local, and yes, you should enter.

The big one. Floats, bands, and neighbors lining the streets of Sioux City.
