Greendale's parade will begin at 4 p.m. Friday at the high school, proceed down Broad Street toward Village Hall and come back to the high school.
A post-parade cookout sponsored by the Athletic Booster Club will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria of the high school. Cookout tickets should be preordered online at greendaleboosterclub.org.
The football game against South Milwaukee will kick off at 7 p.m. in Gavinski Stadium.
