The Steinbach community showed up in a big way for the annual Pioneer Days Parade.
Thousands of people lined Main Street this morning to collect candy and watch the floats go by.
This year's parade started by Kroeker Avenue and rolled down Main Street—ending by Manitoba Public Insurance on Hwy 12.
Check out the winning floats and the sights and sounds from the 2025 Pioneer Days Parade.
Best in float
Most Creative sponsored by Titanium Mechanical
Superior Projects was selected for the 'Most Creative' award for thinking outside the box.
"We went ahead with the Minecraft idea, the whole point of Minecraft is to build and construct things, and that aligns with what we do here," says Esther Stang, marketing coordinator at Superior Projects.
Most Engaging sponsored by Shoppers Drug Mart
Pat Porter Active Living Centre was awarded Most Engaging float this year with their Peter Pan theme.
“Getting people to know who we are and how much fun we really have, I think is important to me and important to everybody here,” says Audrey Harder, executive director.
Best Pioneer Spirit sponsored by Barkman Concrete
Loewen Body Shop took home the win for Best Pioneer Spirit.
"I remember as a kid actually going to the parade where we had the old tow truck. So, it's kind of neat that we restored it a couple during COVID-19, brought it back in and it's the focus of our float every year,” says Josh Loewen, owner of Loewen Body Shop.
