Lewis County Fair Parade Returns to Downtown Lowville
Lowville, NY— The Lewis County Fair Parade will march through downtown Lowville on
Tuesday, July 15 at 6:30 PM. Parade registration is now open online at www.lewiscountyfair.org, and all
are invited to participate or attend.
The parade is free to enter
and registration is open until Wednesday, July 9 at 11:59 pm. Groups
wishing to be judged for their float must pay a $15 judging fee, due no
later than Monday, July 14. Participants are encouraged to be creative and collaborate—businesses and community organizations are
welcome to team up for unique and engaging entries.
The 2025 fair theme, “Saddle Up!”, is a nod to the Friday night rodeo—sure to be a
fan-favorite event.
“This year’s theme, Saddle Up!,
couldn’t be more fitting,” said Fair Manager Rachel Lisk. “We’re bringing
back the rodeo on Friday night, and the theme captures the energy,
excitement, and Western spirit we’re looking forward to all week long—starting with the parade.”
Safety and Regulations
The Lewis County Agricultural Society emphasizes the
importance of safety for both parade participants and spectators:

Floats carrying
people should include proper railings.

●
Staging areas will
be marked on Tuesday morning, and a Lewis County Fair Board member will be
assigned to each staging road for assistance.
State Route 12 will be closed for the parade. You may experience heavy traffic,
closure, or parade set up on Jackson St., Railroad St., Elm St., Stowe St.,
Campbell St., Water Street and River St. Please plan accordingly!
This annual parade holds the tradition of being a
Fireman’s Parade—a tradition that celebrates the dedication and service of
local fire departments. Registered units will be judged along the parade
route and awarded points as part of the annual competition.
