For the young Bucs

The kids-focused Driscoll Children’s Parade at Buc Days features marching, dancing and floats from some of Coastal Bend’s standout schools, youth organizations, and more. 

NEW this year — the parade will take place in Portland, Texas, right across our brand-new Harbor Bridge! It will start at Gregory-Portland Middle School, continue down Wildcat Dr., and end at the new state-of-the-art venue at 5th and Elm St.! After the parade, the fun doesn’t stop — hang out at this amazing new venue with family and friends, enjoy live music, and celebrate our students during the award presentation.

Applications for the 2026 Driscoll Children’s Parade are now open and will be closing on Sunday, March 15th, 2026!
