The annual Oktemberfest parade, which drew thousands of spectators to the downtown area, returned to Main Street Saturday morning after the 2023 iteration was held on Church Street. In the above photos, dancers in the La Carreta entry of the annual Oktemberfest parade twirl their way down Main Street. A new entry in the Oktemberfest parade was Black Knight Drones in Haverhill. The business showed the performance of its agriculture spray drone by flying it for short periods of time over its truck as they traveled the parade route. Marshalltown Police Department Lt. AJ Accola rides a bike alongside the parade route to make sure people stay behind the lines for safety, and Melina Diaz, 1, the daughter of Nelly Diaz, works on getting a piece of her candy bounty in her mouth during the parade.
