New Route for State Fair Parade

For years, the Illinois State Fair Parade has rolled down Springfield's Peoria Road. 
 
Now the fair is shifting gears, kicking off the parade in Springfield's Lincoln Park, which is just across the street from the fairgrounds' southwest corner. Ag spokeswoman Rebecca Clark says the park setting will offer key advantages.
 
 
The length of the parade will only be slightly shorter, going from 1.6 miles to 1.5. 
 
The 2017 Illinois State Fair Twilight Parade is Friday, August 10th at 5:30 P.M.
