Summer is coming. And that means parade season is almost here. Everyone knows that the best thing about parades is the candy that floats throw out or that you bring with you to ease your hunger. To help your group or float be the hit of the parade, we’ve put together a list of our favorite parade candy.
Whether you’re commemorating Memorial Day, celebrating Independence Day, or just putting on a show for the community, we’ll help you pick the bulk candy you need to wow the crowd.
Your goal is to use candy that will not melt, that is easy to transport, and that is tasty. For candy that will be thrown from floats, you also want something that is durable, as some uncaught candy will hit the ground before someone swoops it up.
