The Parade Route has changed!

Alas, the Parade Route has changed again.

The new parade route for the Ithaca Festival, May 31st at 6:30pm, will now take place down Cayuga Street from Lewis Street to Buffalo Street. The route had to change (twice for those who have read the previous announcement) so that we didn’t cross over Seneca Street. What it will allow for is no breaks in the parade to open streets for traffic. And, it gives us an opportunity to have our community block party in Dewitt Park.

We will be finishing the Parade with the party in Dewitt Park with the band The Destination. There will be food, music, and a plethora of community spirit! So if you are looking for a fun way to spend your evening after the Parade has gone by, please do join us in the park. Parade entrants are encouraged to hang their coats and stay for a while.

The staging for the parade will take place on Cayuga Street between Lewis and Lincoln utilizing Lewis and Jay Streets for additional space.

If you have concerns or questions about the new route, please let us know!
Cheerio!
