Because this night is about more than having a great time.

Imagine being able to make that connection from town to the lake in a completely different way.
That’s what makes this night special.
You get to enjoy an evening of live music with friends and family—and at the same time, you’re helping support a project that can create more opportunities for our community.

📣 FALL FESTIVAL PARADE ROUTE UPDATE 🎉
The Pittsfield Fall Festival Parade will have a slightly different route this year, so please take note!
📍 NEW PARADE ROUTE:
The parade will travel down Memorial Street as usual, but instead of turning onto Adams Street, it will continue down Monroe Street for approximately half a block before the parade comes to an end.
Why the change?
Following the parade, the Fall Festival will be hosting the Drum Line Competition on Adams Street. Keeping the parade route on Monroe Street will allow the competition to take place on Adams immediately following the parade.
🗺️ Please see the attached map for the updated parade route and event area.
If you have questions about the Fall Festival, please contact David, Cera, or Cindy Forshey.
For additional Fall Festival information, updates, and announcements, visit the Pittsfield Fall Festival Facebook Group.
Thank you for helping us make this year's Fall Festival a great one! 🍂🎶
