A Bismarck Tradition

Picture

Fall Into The Celebration

The Autumnfest Parade is a beloved all-American tradition in Bismarck, North Dakota, where the sounds of fall come to life. Marching bands from across the Bismarck-Mandan area fill the air with music, while floats, beauty queens, community organizations, classic cars, horses, and clowns roll past the State Capitol.

​Each year, thousands of families line the route to take it all in — a day full of music, laughter, and community spirit. So bring the whole family and FALL INTO THE CELEBRATION.
