Have you tried a brekkie cookie? They're crispy, chewy, and gooey all at once!
Perfection!

Darn 😔

PARADE CANCELLED.

Under guidance from Sterling and Rock Falls police departments, we have unfortunately made the tough decision to cancel today's parade due to weather.

We are truly sorry to have to make this announcement. We know how much time, energy, and excitement our participants, volunteers, and community put into this event each year. However, the safety of our community, parade participants, and spectators must come first.

There is not a rain date, due to the extensive coordination required with IDOT, law enforcement, and our community partners. We appreciate your understanding and support as we make this decision with the safety of our community in mind.
Thank you to everyone who helped prepare for this year’s celebration, and we hope to see you back with us next year!

Save the Date: Saturday, September 18, 2027

We still want to see your Fiesta Spirit! If you have photos from previous parades, drop them in the comments and lift our spirit!

Due to the rainy weather, Selmi's has cancelled all outdoor events, so Good News Coffee Co. will not be setting up shop there today.

Have a pleasant Saturday!
