Give a group of kids a few hula hoops, and suddenly Bayliss Park has its own locomotive.
One of our favorite moments from FMCB so far is simply kids being kids, using their imaginations, and having fun together.
Sometimes the best community moments are the ones you never see coming. 💙

What started as a page celebrating a community event has grown into something much bigger. A place to celebrate the people, places, traditions, and stories that make Council Bluffs special!

As our community approaches its 200th birthday, we're excited to share even more of the people, places, traditions, stories, and progress that make CB a place we're proud to call home.
Celebrate CB may happen once a year, but there's something worth celebrating in Council Bluffs every day.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

The stories behind the pancakes are almost as impressive as the pancakes themselves!

During Celebrate CB, we caught up with the one and only Pancake Man to talk about his years on the road, the millions of pancakes he's served.

You'll also see one of the amazing volunteers from Cobalt Credit Union,who helped make breakfast a success.
Check it out! You might be surprised by just how many pancakes have been served over the years!

A special thank you to Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy , TreeHouse CB and All Care Health Center for their support as Parade Partners and for helping make activities throughout Celebrate CB possible.

As we look back on Celebrate CB 2026, we'd like to thank Veridian Credit Union again for serving as our Sound Sponsor.

From parade announcements and sponsor recognition to sharing the stories behind each entry, sound is an important part of creating a memorable parade experience. Veridian's support helped ensure the excitement and energy of the parade could be enjoyed all along the route.

We're also grateful for our parade announcers from Boomer in the Bluffs , Peggy Sweet and Chuck Denver.

Thank you, Veridian, Peggy, and Chuck, for helping create an exceptional Celebrate CB experience for our community!
