My home town of Three Rivers, MI has the Water Carnival every year. Runs for about a week, with a huge flea market, Ox roast & a carnival midway. The festivities end with a fireworks display and a Parade of actual floats on the river around Memory Isle. When I was about 7 or so I was tapped to fill in for a sick child as the living prop on one of these floats, I still remember the thrill of riding down main street (that year the river was unable to sustain floats) and having the crowds lining the streets cheering for me, well that's what if felt like to a 7 yr old kid ;-). I think they've renamed it since I've moved away to the Water Festival, or it might have always been officially called that but it's still the water carnival to me.

Also in Bowling Green is the National Corvette Homecoming, because the Corvette plant is in BG.

I live in Wine Country, Sonoma, CA, north of the Golden Gate. At the end of the summer we have a harvest festival. A parade commemorates the family heritage of local wineries and our Hispanic community. Folks dress in their native folkloric costumes with traditional song and dance of their native communities. Lots of great food and wine on the Sonoma Plaza. If you are in the area at the end of August, check it out!
