Yet again thousands lined Steinbach’s Main Street, with candy bags agape and necks craned, to take in a staple of the city’s summer, the Pioneer Days parade.

An estimated 130-135 entries strolled through the route for the Friday morning parade, greeting spectators along the way in a parade that lasted approximately 85 minutes.

This year’s parade theme was ‘More For You Here – Discover the Spirit of Steinbach.’
