2026 Bennington Battle Day Parade
Sunday, August 16, 2026
Downtown Bennington
Parade steps off at 12:30 PM

Cancer Crusaders is proud to take part in the Bennington Battle Day Parade each year, celebrating one of Bennington’s favorite local traditions while helping spread the word about our mission.
Last year, our Mardi Gras-themed float won Best Non-Category Float — but the best part was being out in the community, connecting with neighbors, and reminding local cancer patients and families that support is here at home.
CABIN FEVER DANCE
Our next Cabin Fever Dance will be held on February 20, 2027 at the Bennington Elks Lodge
Shake off the winter blues with Cancer Crusaders at our annual Cabin Fever Dance! Last year marked 10 years of this community-favorite fundraiser, and we are excited to keep the tradition going. Join us for music, dancing, raffles, food, and friendly contests like Best Flannel and Best Beard.
All proceeds help Cancer Crusaders support local cancer patients and families.
