Traffic will come to a halt in Drayton Street, Nanango, on Saturday morning to allow more than 70 Army Cadets to march from Nanango Showgrounds to the War Memorial.
The cadets, from all over south-east Queensland, will march with drums and rifles, so it should be an interesting spectacle.
After a small ceremony at the memorial, the cadets will then march back to the showgrounds to continue a Cadet Expo.
Captain (AAC) Liane Kerr said the parade would start at 11:00am.
Drayton Street will be closed at Cairns, Chester, Gipps, Fitzroy and Henry streets.
After the parade, members of the public have been invited to watch the activities the cadets will be undertaking at the showgrounds.
There will be displays of archery, drills, drums, field craft, first aid and a confidence course.
The Fire Brigade and the Light Horse Regiment will also have exhibits.
“This will be a good opportunity for anyone interested in joining the cadets to come along and see what the Army cadets are all about,” Captain Kerr said.
Entry is free, and there will be tea, coffee, soft drinks and food on sale.
