Saturday morning, September 22nd, The 155th Belchertown Fair Parade steps from the corner of Route 202 and Main Street at 10 a.m. At approximately 9:30 am, the award winning BHS Band provides a performance at Clapp Memorial Library to announce the start of the festivities. This years parade should prove to have just as many great floats and marchers as prior years. However this year's theme, "Poultry in Motion " will provide a lot of opportunities for each group to show their representation of what Belchertown means to them. Make sure to bring your chair and get a space along the parade route early. You will want to obtain the best spot available to kick back and watch the BHS & Chestnut Hill Community Bands, many fire trucks, antique vehicles, marching groups, theme
floats and of course the famous Shriners.
