PARISHVILLE -- The Town of Parishville continues its bicentennial celebration this weekend with a parade at noon on Saturday, live music, historical presentations, family activities, fireworks and more July 26-27.

The parade begins at noon and will not take place at 1 p.m. as had been incorrectly reported in some earlier stories.

Inflatable bounce houses, a magic show, tug-of-war competition, softball tournament, 5k walk/runs and a sand castle competition are also among the events planned to celebrate the town’s 200th birthday.

“Everything is free all weekend except for a small fee for the 5k runs and food,” said event organizer Bob Wickwire.
