Celebrate a longtime Ione tradition at the 150th Annual Ione Homecoming Parade, returning to Main Street with community spirit, local pride, and plenty to see along the route. This year’s theme is Benny Reflecting on the Past and Celebrating the Present, and the parade will feature a wide variety of entries including themed floats, marching groups, dance and gymnastics groups, classic and custom vehicles, tractors, horses, golf carts, fire engines, and more.
The 2026 Grand Marshals are The Gold Family. Parade watchers can expect a lively hometown procession that reflects both Ione’s history and its present-day community pride. For more Homecoming activities happening that weekend, be sure to check out our separate Ione Homecoming post.
