Waterford Pumpkinfest Parade

Parking should be available at 42 Thompson Rd W. This is a company called "Deb Swarfega".
directions sketch

Please note that the above map maybe somewhat misleading as it spots the address on the east side of Hwy 24, but the address is actually Thompson Rd West. At the very least, it will put you in the "ball park" area.
 

Band members are requested to arrive no later than 11:00 am.
 Be forewarned....it gets very busy anytime after 11:00 am, so you're best to arrive closer to 10:30 am.
Parade starts at 12:30 pm.
