The Chautauqua Festival coming to Orofino July 31 – Aug. 2 will include a parade that will march through downtown Orofino starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 2. The parade will include jugglers, clowns, unicyclists, stilt-walkers and local community members who will march down Michigan Avenue to put on an “Everybody’s Welcome” parade to let the public know about Chautauqua’s arrival.
Following the parade the educators and entertainers of the Chautauqua Festival will provide an afternoon festival of workshops including juggling, magic, organic gardening, mask-making, clowning, bubble blowing, alternative energy, quilt making, samba drumming and dance.
