LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — Local businesses, community groups, schools, artists, musicians, performance groups are invited to participate in the 13th annual Livingston Manor Trout Parade, scheduled for Saturday, June 11. Individuals and groups that would like to dress in costume, decorate a bicycle, design a float, dance down Main Street, show off classic cars, make some music, or present a performance are welcome to participate in the Trout Parade. This year’s parade steps off at 1 p.m. and runs for about an hour, plus concerts and entertainment before and after the event.

This year’s event is pirate-themed! Ahoy to the high seas (and streams)! “Pirates of the Willowemoc” will storm Main Street in all kinds of olde timey garb. Whether you’re a scurvy buccaneer or a noble explorer, you’re welcome to come in costume, wacky hats, skates, floats, even tugboats! Don’t forget to grab a collective T-shirt or limited-edition hat as your booty on the big day. This year’s event is dedicated to the memory of Lee Siegel and Bud Wertheim.
