Dryden to Celebrate the Dairy Industry June 8 – 36th Dryden Dairy Day

Join in the festivities to celebrate the 36th Dryden Dairy Day on Saturday, June 8.

Start the day at 9:30 by watching the parade down Main Street and pick your favorite float that best represents this year’s theme: “Raise your glad for dairy pride.” Registration for the parade is now open at drydendairyday.org – sign up soon as the parade will be limited to 55 entries.

After the parade, Montgomery Park transforms into a destination filled with fun for the whole family. Games, bounce house, crafts, demonstrations, live animals to pet, and a display of farm tractors and equipment are just a few of the great activities this year. Plus live entertainment by Dryden School Music Groups and local bands.

Admission is free and free parking is available at the Village Municipal Parking Lot and Dryden Fire Hall.
If you would like more information on how to become a sponsor, participate as a vendor or in the parade, visit DrydenDairyDay.org.
