Bring the Joy of Christmas to SummerFest! 🎄☀️

Join St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic School as we sponsor the 2026 Ankeny Chamber SummerFest Kiddie Parade! Gather the family, wear your best "Jingle in July" attire, and help us spread Christmas cheer in the middle of summer.

Friday, July 10 | Uptown Ankeny | 🕠 Registration: 5:30 pm | Parade Begins: 6:30 pm

Come bike, walk, wagon, or scoot through the parade in your holiday best! Decorate with lights, bells, candy canes, or other festive flair, and dress as Santa, an elf, a reindeer, a Christmas tree, or your favorite Christmas character.

Parents must be present to register children before the parade. For the parade route and additional details, visit ankenysummerfest.com/activities.

Let's fill Uptown Ankeny with Christmas spirit and show our St. Luke pride!
