Montour Falls festival canceled again this year

MONTOUR FALLS--Organizers of the annual Montour Falls Fire Department Festival and Parade of Bands have canceled the event for the second year in a row as safety concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic continue. The festival is hosted by the department and serves as its largest fundraising event of the year for the equipment fund.
The festival was planned for June 10 to 12 which is typically one of the first celebrations of the summer visitor season.
"At the present time according to state guidelines it would be challenging to have a safe and successful event," said the department in a written statement. "We look forward to the event in 2022 and want to thank our volunteers, supporters, businesses, high school bands and many more for standing by us through these challenging times."
