This year’s event is Saturday, May 27 and kicks off with a parade at 10:00 a.m.

“It’s Oswego County’s biggest and best parade,” said Doug Stevens, service clubs committee chair. “As in past years, the parade starts on the city’s east side, comes straight down Broadway and finishes at the Fulton Community Center at Recreation Park. This year’s theme is ‘Remembering and Honoring our Veterans with Grace and Gratitude.’
“At 11:30 in the community center, the Fire and Police Band will play our national anthem, and Down Beat Percussion and the Highland Pipe Band will each play several numbers to start off the day’s events. Admission is free and the emcee for the event will be Natalie Lewin. There will several food trucks at the park, indoor vendors, and rides and concessions provided by Ontario Amusements both Friday night and Saturday. Kiwanis will be serving BBQ chicken until gone, and the Fulton Lions Club will be serving hamburgers and hot dogs.”
Stevens said the remainder of events are as follows:
