Crowds flock to Annual Liberty Festival – Photos and Video
This past Monday was the Annual Liberty Festival in the Village of Liberty. Hundreds, even thousands of people descended on Main Street to enjoy a great parade, a large number of vendors, and a beautiful day. Liberty also looked great thanks to the hard work of Liberty Pride and the Greater Liberty Chamber of Commerce.
There was not a parking spot to be found in Liberty before the Parade started it’s way down main street. But once you were able to get on main street you were treated to a great parade featuring firetrucks, classic cars, motorcycles, and this being an election year for the Town – many aspiring politicians.
There was a wide array of vendors on Main Street – everything from jewelry to clothing, and things you just don’t see everyday like miniature fake dogs. Our favorite food vendor Carrero’s Italian Sausage was on site temping your taste buds with their classic sausage and peppers.
We especially enjoyed the Sullivan County ASPCA with their adorable puppies.
The best part of the day was the smiling faces on the kids that were taking in the day. This is the kind of event that Liberty’s future will recall years from now.
We captured some of the day in photos, and one video of Liberty’s Charlie Barbuti playing the tuba:
It was a great day, hope to see you on Main Street again next year!!
