The 85th National Trout Festival continues throughout this weekend in Kalkaska.
On Saturday, the annual Grand Royale Parade made it’s way through downtown.
The streets were packed with families, some showing their little ones their first ever National Trout Festival parade.
Several local organizations and school marching bands made appearances, as well as the newly crowned Trout Festival King and Queen and their court.
Many residents say they are excited to have the community back together in person, celebrating the village and county they love.
“My favorite part is watching the kids’ interactions with everybody going down, throwing the candy, just all the smiles and all the families together,” said Krista Nichols. “It’s just great family fun, beautiful weather, come and enjoy Kalkaska.”
The festival runs through Sunday night.
