Once the transition to spring begins to take place, you’ll start to see that all throughout the state of New York there are more and more funky little parades and festivals happening here. In the past, New Yorkers have been able to experience UFO festivals to Faerie festivals and more. Out of all the different events we’ve seen pass through our state though, there’s one down in the Catskill Mountains that we simply can’t get enough of.

Happening on the second Saturday of June each year, the Livingston Manor Trout Parade will once again be returning on June 8th this year.
