The festival kicks off with an opening dance Friday at 7:00 pm,featuring polka music and the King and Queen Dance Contest, where participants and non-participants are encouraged to wear traditional Czech kroj (costumes). At 10:00 on Saturday morning, floats, bands, and colorful costumes will kick-off the downtown festivities. The parade traditionally includes something for visitors of all ages. Enjoy the music of our polka bands riding on decorated floats or the sounds of our award winning Ennis High School Marching Band.

This giant parade twists through historic downtown Ennis and is sure to please. You will experience the traditions, religious customs, dancing, tastes, sights, sounds, and ""a little bit of the Czech Lands"" throughout historic downtown and at the three spacious air conditioned halls (KJT, KC and Sokol Halls).
