FORT WORTH, TEXAS, January, 11, 2022 – Everyone loves a parade and the streets of downtown Fort Worth will be filled with the sights and sounds of horses, riders, marching bands and wagons – pulled with authentic horsepower – on Jan. 15 when the Fort Worth Stock Show’s All-Western Parade beginning at 11 a.m.  

More than 120 organizations, including an impressive 2,000 horses, are entered in this year’s parade. Entries categories include: Riding Clubs / sheriff posses; floats / horse-drawn vehicles; and 3) bands and marching groups. The stock show’s parade has stuck its historical roots.  

 “It’s fascinating to realize that a parade was used to draw people to the first Stock Show in 1896 which was held under some trees near Marine Creek on the city’s Northside,” said Stock Show President and General Manager, Bradford S. Barnes. “While this year’s will certainly be a larger parade, it still carries the spirit of that first Stock Show in full western flare.”   The words “All Western” have true meaning; no motorized entries are allowed. One exciting aspect will be the appearance of the celebrated Budweiser Clydesdales, who will also appear at the Stock Show’s rodeo beginning January 21. The impressive group of eight equines will also be on exhibit in the Burnett Building at the Will Rogers Memorial Center during the Stock Show’s full 23-day run.
