This Sunday, October 14th is the 31st Annual Cortland Festival and Parade. The parade kicks off at 1pm and will feature members of local bands, scout troops, clubs and other organizations. Participants also receive hot dogs, chips and beverages after the parade. This is graciously donated by the Cortland Lions Club and Festival and Parade Committee.
Cortland’s parade route this year is Loves Rd. (S) to Carol Ave. (E) to Hickory Dr. (S) to Pine St. (E) to Somonauk Rd. (S) to Maple St. (E) to Llanos St. (N) to the Cortland Community Park. Route map link below.
The Parade Committee will be hosting a small festival at Cortland Community Park after the parade. Vendors will offer food for purchase. Fun for all ages. New this year, Cavern Beat, a Beatles Tribute Band will play from 1:30 – 5:30pm.
Judging will be held for the 8th Annual Big Red’s Cortland Apple Cook-Off at 3:30pm in the food tent at Cortland Community Park. Contestants have to create a dish using apples (preferably the Cortland variety) from local groceries or orchards. Someone is going to win big money!
Beginning staging for the parade will be at 11am at N. Loves Road and W. Cortland Center Road. The parade steps off at 1pm rain or shine. Volunteers are always needed to help. Anyone interested in being in the parade or wanting more information should contact Judy Butler at 815-751-6683 .
