What an incredible year for the International Homecoming Festival! From the roaring engines at the parade to the splashing excitement of the duck race, the Oak Hill Crew had a front-row seat (and sometimes a driver’s seat!) to all the action.
2026 was all about celebrating our border community, and we’re thrilled to share our favorite moments with you. If you missed any of the festivities or just want to relive the fun, check out our video highlights below.
1. The Main Event: The 2026 International Parade
The parade is always the heartbeat of IHF, and this year did not disappoint. We captured the energy from two different perspectives:
- A Fan's Eye View: Experience the full scale of the parade as it moved through our twin towns. Watch: The 2026 International Parade: A Fan's Eye View!
- Nintendo POV: Ever wonder what it’s like to ride an ATV in the parade? Join us for a unique "Nintendo ATV" POV that puts you right in the middle of the Western Charlotte County ATV Club #58 entry! Watch: 2026 International Parade POV: Nintendo ATV Fun!
- Club Pride: Check out the Western Charlotte County ATV Club #58's official parade entry. Watch: Western Charlotte County ATV Club #58: 2026 Parade Entry
2. Duck Wrangling & The Great Homecoming Duck Race
One of the most unique traditions of the festival is the duck race. This year, the Oak Hill Crew helped out with some "duck wrangling" to make sure everything went off without a hitch. It was as chaotic and fun as it sounds! Watch: The Great Homecoming Duck Race – Duck Wrangling with Oak Hill Crew!
3. ATV Bingo, BBQ, and Community Spirit
The festivities weren't just limited to the parade route. We had a blast at the WCCATV Club Show and Shine, which featured a great BBQ and some intense rounds of ATV Bingo. Watch: WCCATV Club Show and Shine: ATV Bingo & BBQ!
4. Getting Locked Up for a Good Cause: Jail & Bail
Finally, we couldn't forget the Charity Jail & Bail. We saw some familiar local faces "arrested" to help raise money for the community. It’s always a highlight to see everyone come together for such a great cause. Watch: St. Stephen Jail & Bail 2026: Local "Criminals" Get Locked Up! 🔒
Thank you to everyone who made IHF 2026 so special. We’re already looking forward to next year! Don't forget to subscribe to the Oak Hill Crew on YouTube to keep up with all our local adventures.
