The annual celebration of Paris, Tennessee’s rich history took place today with the 71st World’s Biggest Fish Fry Grand Parade. Thousands gathered to witness the parade, which was more than just a procession for many attendees. It was an opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate their heritage.
The parade featured floats, bands, civic groups, churches, and local businesses making their way through the streets. Many spectators shared their favorite moments from the event, including the opportunity to enjoy fried fish at the Fish Tent and participate in the parade themselves.
One of the highlights of the parade was the presence of the Clydesdale horses, which delighted crowds as they paraded through the streets. The week-long festival surrounding the World’s Biggest Fish Fry includes events like rodeos, carnivals, and plenty of fried catfish.
The celebration will continue until Saturday, April 27th with fish being served from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. Visitors are encouraged to stop by and take part in all that Paris has to offer, including the parade and delicious fried fish that have made this town famous.
