The Montgomery Fest Parade will kick off on August 11th at 1:00 p.m. in downtown Montgomery. It is shaping up to be a terrific event! This year’s parade will include a wide variety of groups participating from across the Fox River Valley, including musical groups and a BMX stunt team.
For horse lovers, there are the stately and impressive Kane County Mounted Rangers as well as a horse drawn hearse from Dieterle Memorial Home. For the music lovers in the crowd, there are a myriad of traditional musicians spanning from the energetic Kaneland Marching Band to the Music Arts Drumline to the lively bagpipes of the Tunes of Glory. To delight and amaze us visually the Division BMX Stunt Team will also participate. Last, but by no means least, the Shriner’s antics will be fun for all with their whimsical little cars to delight everyone of all ages.
Festivity-goers can help their Fox River Valley community by bringing non-perishable food items on Sunday during the Festival Parade. These items will be collected by the Aurora Interfaith Food Pantry. Please look for members of Our Savior Lutheran Church from Aurora who will be pushing shopping carts to collect the donations of food items. It couldn’t be more convenient!
The parade will begin at Webster and Main Street, travelling south to Watkins, over to River Street and from there north to Mill Street. The review stand is located in front of the Village Hall at 200 N. River Street.
