Save the Date for the Parade
Friday, August 11th – 7:00 p.m.
As usual, this year’s parade is shaping up to be an exceptional event. The entry spaces are filling up fast and we are receiving new applications every day.
The committee has decided to have no more than 85 entries, including commercial, non-commercial and children categories. Participants are encouraged to decorate their floats in a potato theme and to be as original as possible. The floats will be judged beginning at 6:00 p.m. and there will be two winners in each of the three categories. Look for the banners declaring the winners as the parade passes by!
This year’s parade includes 8 bands, many floats with music, entertainment by the various Shriner groups, a stilt-walker/accordion player, and a unicyclist/juggler. Watch for amazing feats of balance from these two unique characters!
So, get ready for another exciting parade as it makes its way through the heart of downtown Alliston. What a great way to kick off yet another awesome Potato Festival!
