Details regarding festival and booths to come in the future.

The last time we attended this celebration and parade was in early 2020. Twas quite the event on a beautiful cold Winter’s day.

This was just prior to the word “COVID” becoming a household familiar name. We’ve come a long way since then and here we are again in the midst of continued health concerns. With that in mind we suggest you take care to bring along your masks should you choose to attend.
