2013 will mark the 100th anniversary of All Schools Day. The longest running celebration of its kind, All Schools Day has grown from a parade and 8th grade recognition banquet in 1914 to a week-long, countywide celebration.

The parade is a slice of pure Americana with floats, bands, May Day queens and clowns stretching for seven blocks through Downtown McPherson.
