Day two of the Quasquibicentennial featured numerous events from an antique car show, a trap shoot, the harvest of history, battle of the bands and a treasure hunt in Park City. The list of activities also included a parade through Downtown Cave City.

The Parade took place after the antique car show that ran from 1-4 p.m., and many of the old vehicles stayed around to join in the festivities. It began around 6 p.m. at the Cave Area Convention Center. According to members of the Quasquibicentennial there were around 25 floats and vehicles in the parade, including Monticello and Cecilian Banks as well as the local Girl Scout troop and riders representing Jesse James Riding Stables.

Lead by a police truck with sirens and lights on, the parade took a left onto Mammoth Cave Street and on down to Downtown Cave City, stopping as they hit Hwy. 31-E. As they drove,or in some cases rode, on, people — young and old — lined the street to get candy from the Girl Scout troop and other parade participants.
