The Painted Post Colonial Days Parade is a vibrant, community-focused tradition that serves as the unofficial kickoff to summer in the Southern Tier. The parade winds through Steuben, Water, North Hamilton, and Hight streets drawing spectators to line the route.
Marching Bands: The parade is highly regarded for its pageantry, featuring several regional high school marching bands that perform live as they march.
Firefighter's Parade: The procession begins with a thrilling Firefighter's section, showcasing gleaming, decorated fire trucks and emergency vehicles from local volunteer departments across the area.
Community Floats: Local businesses, civic groups, school teams, and youth organizations (including the pageant royalty) create festive floats to match the festival's annual theme.
Post-Parade Festivities: Once the parade concludes, attendees typically head over to Craig Park for performances by the participating high school bands and a community chicken barbecue.
