Thanksgiving Day Parade

For more than 20 years, the annual Jacksonport Thanksgiving Day Parade is a fun-loving, eclectic parade — a labor of love put in motion by residents and built upon the theme of neighbors helping neighbors.

The parade starts at 10:30 a.m. at the Jacksonport Town Hall, takes a right on Wisconsin 57 to Mike’s Port Pub where it turns around and heads back to JJ’s of Jacksonport.

In 2015, students from the Sevastopol High School Student Council and Gibraltar DECA students worked together to plan the parade.
