Parade of the Hills is an annual community festival in Nelsonville, Ohio, featuring a parade, live entertainment, and an Old-Timers Baseball Day tradition founded by former major league outfielder Estel Crabtree, drawing on the town's small Appalachian foothills identity in Athens and Hocking Counties.
Its Appalachian small-town identity makes it a useful southeast Ohio row.
