The annual Katonah Firemen’s Parade will be on Wednesday June 3rd starting at 7pm. Come early to pick your viewing spot! Bring a picnic and your folding chairs. You will see the excitement in the hamlet as the proud owners of the gracious Victorians festoon their porches with flags and set out refreshments for their guests. The forty plus fire companies that participate from the tri-state area start out at New Street and travel down Valley Road into the main area of the town. The music is wonderful and I look forward to seeing these wonderful volunteers from our own Town of Bedford plus companies from my home towns of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow!

This also heralds the start of the Carnival which is held on the grounds behind the firehouse through Saturday the sixth of June. There are many food concessions available with the traditional fair fare. There are several great kiddie rides along with the famed “Ali Baba”, Ferris Wheel and others. There are the booths of games to be played with those outrageous stuffed animals as prizes that every child is proud to carry out as their trophy for the night. It is a great family night.

Thursday is bracelet night when there are unlimited rides for one entry fee. Hours are 6-10 in the evenings and on Saturday the carnival opens at 1 pm till closing at 10.

It is a wonderful way to catch the spirit of the town and see that it is a great place to raise a young family. As a Real Estate Broker with Houlihan Lawrence which is right in the heart of Katonah we are involved in most community events.
