Since 1980, Mikana has celebrated our PATRIOTIC PRIDE by hosting The Biggest Little Parade. This fun event is a highlight for residents and visitors alike. As the event has grown, so has the Mikana Parade Raffle, with proceeds supporting the Cedar Lake area. Raffle money has been contributed to Birchwood Four Corners Emergency Services District, Birchwood Area Food Pantry, Pink Ribbon Advocacy, Educational Foundation of Birchwood, “Angel Fund” at Birchwood School, Birchwood Backpack Program, Timber Bay, Rice Lake Library Building Fund, as well as improvements to Mikana Town Hall and Joel Wosepka Park.
