Parades, Fairs, and Celebrations have always been welcome respites from the day to day work of the people of Cadillac.  You can see amazing displays from early fairs and zoos coming to town among other great things in this gallery.

Please click on any individual image and begin a slideshow from that image.  If you have any updates, corrections, or images you would like to submit, please contact the museum through the Contact tab or in person.
