Great Circus Parade

[1] A fundraiser for the Circus World Museum,[2] the parade typically draws hundreds of thousands of attendees.

The animals and wagons travel from Baraboo to the parade locale on special circus trains.

The 2009 parade exhibited 50 circus wagons, between 250 and 400 horses, and 30 bands on a two-hour long route.

"[4][5] The Great Circus Parade was founded by Chappie Fox and Ben Barkin[5] and first held in Milwaukee in 1963.
