The Rapids River Days Parade will be 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Marla Elness with River Days says the parade is always a huge event.
"You're going to be joining about eight to ten thousand people that line our streets. I have to put a big thank you out to the County because they left 6th Avenue open even with all the road construction. So we still have our parade route free and clear."
