Steinbach, MB – July 23, 2025 — Get ready for a community celebration as the 57th Annual Pioneer Parade rolls through Steinbach once again! Starting at 10:00 A.M., this beloved tradition, first launched in 1968, continues to bring our community together in a vibrant display of creativity, pride, and pioneer spirit.
This year’s parade will feature over 115 entries, and will include eye-catching floats, local businesses, community organizations, marching bands, and more. The parade is an exciting testament to the enduring community support for this annual event.

Construction Route Continued for 2025
The 2025 parade will see the same route as the previous year due to continued road construction, beginning at the Fire Hall on Main Street, heading west across the #12 intersection, and continuing along Highway 52 until reaching North Front Drive. The RCMP will be on-site to manage traffic flow and will periodically pause the parade to allow vehicles through on #12 heading south.

Due to this unique route adjustment, safety is more important than ever. Parents and spectators are reminded to keep children behind the barricade tape and to refrain from entering the parade route. Float participants will be asked to hand or toss candy directly to children at the edge—not onto the street.
“We want everyone to enjoy the parade safely,” said Tessa Masi, Executive Director of the Steinbach Chamber of Commerce. “Thanks to Unger Excavating, our 2025 Safety Sponsor, we’ve implemented a new safety strategy to help keep families safe while enjoying the show.”
Tin for the Bin: Support for Southeast Helping Hands
In true community spirit, spectators are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food donation for Southeast Helping Hands Food Bank. Volunteers will be collecting items along the parade route with shopping carts—so let’s fill those bins and show our support for local families.
Float Awards & Sponsors
This year, we’re excited to announce three float award categories, generously sponsored by local businesses:
- Best Pioneer Spirit – Sponsored by Barkman Concrete
- Most Creative – Sponsored by Titanium Mechanical
- Most Engaging – Sponsored by Shoppers Drug Mart
Thanks also go to our many event sponsors, including Steinbach Credit Union (Title Sponsor), Clearview Co-op (Pipe Band Sponsor), Quarry Oaks, OnPoint, Oak Leaf, Books in Balance (Golf Cart Sponsors), and others whose support makes the parade possible.
