Constitution Day Parade Sept. 23 in Decorah

On Sept. 17, 1787, members of the Constitutional Convention signed the final draft of the U.S. Constitution. For almost 250 years, the Constitution has been the most important document in American history and government. This sacred document established our national government, fundamental laws, and has protected and guaranteed certain basic rights to citizens of the United States.

Each year, Americans observe Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. The commemoration of Constitution Week runs annually from Sept.17-23. In Decorah, that means the annual Constitution Day Parade, held this year on Saturday, Sept. 23. Line up starts at 10 a.m. on Claiborne Street in front of Decorah High School with the parade starting at 11 a.m.  The parade route will travel down Water Street. Parade entries will be judged and a prize awarded for the best float at a Constitution Week celebration at Club 45 in Decorah following the parade.
