CULLMAN, Ala. – With autumn air setting in and the community preparing to gather, the 2025 Cullman County Fair Parade is set to offer a spirited kickoff to the fair season.
The streets of downtown Cullman will come alive this Saturday, Oct. 4, as the Cullman County Fair Parade steps off at 2 p.m., marking the traditional start to one of the community’s most cherished fall events.

The parade will travel north along U.S. Highway 31, beginning near Sixth Street Southwest and continuing to Arnold Street Northwest.
To accommodate the procession, U.S. Highway 31 from Ninth Street Southwest to Main Avenue Northwest will be closed to traffic between 1:30-4:30 p.m. Saturday.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and arrive early to secure a good viewing spot.
Floats, area marching bands, community groups and pageant winners and contestants will highlight the parade, while local churches and ministries are also expected to take part, continuing a tradition of offering outreach during the event.
