The parade involves the whole community, including floats, school band, and community members showing off their polished tractors, groomed horses, or decorated bikes. Stay the day in Sully and enjoy lunch on the square hosted by the Sully Lions Club and let the kids play in the carnival. The afternoon is filled with water fights and ball games, and the celebration concludes with fireworks.
