Saturday, October 4, 2025

Clarinda’s Longest Musical Tradition is co-sponsored by the Clarinda Chamber of Commerce, Clarinda Community Schools, and the City of Clarinda. Every year, this event draws schools from multiple states, which are judged in both parade & field marching in the daylong competition. The free parade starts at 9:00 a.m. around the downtown square, followed by the afternoon field activities starting at 12:45 p.m. at the Clarinda High School Football Stadium. Admission to the field competition is $5 for adults and $3 for students.
