QUINCY, Ill. (KHQA) — The 2025 Dogwood Parade Party and Festival is taking place in Quincy on Saturday, May 3rd.
The free event is held at the Friends of the Lorenzo Bull House from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Attendees can gather on the lawn to watch the Dogwood Parade and stay afterwards for food, rides, live entertainment, and other family fun throughout the afternoon.
Friends of the Lorenzo Bull House President Dick Wellman says this is their third year hosting the event, bringing back an older tradition.
“Years ago, we used to have kind of a festival downtown on Main Street at the end of the parade, and so we’ve kind of brought that back as a return to having a Dogwood Festival after the parade,” Wellman said.
Wellman also said Saturday’s event is a fun activity for those of all ages, and a good way for people to experience the Lorenzo Bull House lawn.
“This is a place that we want to welcome the community to, the Lorenzo Bull Park, and many people don’t realize that this is a park, but we do want the community to come and use this park, and enjoy it,” Wellman said.
Free Lorenzo Bull House tours will also be available for anyone interested.
