The heart of the Palooza, the Pickle Parade®, brings the streets of downtown Mansfield to life with colorful floats, marching groups, entertainers, and plenty of hometown pride. Families line the streets to cheer, laugh, and celebrate together—then wait for the grand finale, when the iconic Pickle Queens® make their royal debut to close out the parade.
The 2026 theme is: Let’s Party Like it’s 1776!

Community groups, businesses, schools, and organizations are invited to create floats or walking entries that bring energy and creativity to the streets of downtown Mansfield.
