The Millersville Parade was started in 1997 by a group of volunteers dedicated to improving relationships between the Borough of Millersville, Millersville University, Manor Township and surrounding communities. 

The Office of University Events invites entertainment groups to the parade each year from across Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. With antique cars, music, dancing, animals, floats and clowns, to name just a few of the many things entered each year, the Millersville Parade has something for every family to enjoy.

This beloved annual event is a showcase of the local and regional entertainment, craftsmanship, and innovation...the best of Lancaster County and beyond!
