“This is the 45th annual Pure Water Days Parade. At one time Chippewa Falls was known for having the purest water in the world. They wanted to celebrate it. That is how it started,” Ouimette said.
The parade starts on Saturday at 1 p.m. on the corner of North Bridge and Cedar Streets (right past the Courthouse) and travels down to the corner of Bridge and Spring Streets.
Immediately after the parade hang around for the Cruise In Car Show before heading down the street to Riverfront Park for RiverFest which takes place from 2 – 8 p.m.
“It’s a huge festival. As you can see in our description, we have live music and then there’s food with nine food trucks,” she said. “We have games and we have free stuff. We have a free magic show. We have giant inflatables. We have face paint. You name it, we have it.”
