Mark Your Calendar!

The Trout Parade in Livingston Manor promises to be another very fishy event, with wacky marching bands, funny floats, processional puppets, musical performances, and whole lot of fun. Livingston Manor is celebrating its 200th birthday this year, so the parade will have a little bicentennial flair too!

1:00 pm Parade Steps off

Main Street, Livingston Manor

The festivities and stage performances are free and open to the public.
