Due to road construction on Lyell Avenue in Spencerport village, the Spencerport Volunteer Firemen’s Association has decided to change the route for their annual parade in June.
The new route will take parade participants straight down Union Street and into the carnival grounds. Lineup for those who are marching in the parade will start at the intersection of Brockport Road and Union Street and continue south to the intersection of Union Street and Route 31. Traffic personnel and detour signs will be posted.
This year’s carnival will be held from June 6 through 9 with activities held each night. On Wednesday, June 6, the annual Youth Parade will be held. Youth groups from across the community will march down Union Street into the Village of Spencerport. Young children will also march and be dressed up in costumes. The Youth Parade starts at 7 p.m. Wednesday is also “Pay One Price Night,” carnival attendees can ride all the attractions for $18 starting at 5 p.m. The Grand Parade is Thursday, June 7 at 7 p.m.
Since 1937, the Spencerport Firemen’s Carnival has been entertaining the residents of Spencerport, Ogden and surrounding communities with an array of rides, games, food and family fun.
This year, Midway Rides of Utica will serve as the carnival’s ride operator. Midway Rides of Utica, from Utica, New York, has been the longtime ride operator for several venues including: Stafford N. Y. Fire Department, Niagara County Fair along with a host of other events throughout New York and Pennsylvania.
On Friday, June 8, 7th Heaven, a long-time Rochester band, will reunite for one night. The performance starts at 8 p.m. Saturday, June 9, is Family Fun Day. Riders can ride all the attractions for $25 from noon to close. The evening wraps up with live entertainment from a Rochester favorite, Tainted Minds, performance at 8 p.m.
