LIBERTY, NY (August 18, 2014) – The Greater Liberty Chamber of Commerce had to make a difficult decision to cancel the Liberty Festival and Parade on the Fourth of July due to the continued threat of rain, extreme flooding and weather conditions on the July 4^th Weekend. Safety of the general public, as well as the safety of road crews, firemen and police departments, etc. was all considered in making the difficult decision.

By popular demand all the days activities including the Parade and the Classic Car Show have all been rescheduled for Saturday, August 30 from 10:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. with more vendors, delicious food, bouncy houses and kids activities by Party Master, a Stilt Walker by NACL Theatre of Highland Lake, music and entertainment all day long by Carl Richards Band with Mr. Phil, plus Jeremy Langdale & Zerena Young on the Main Stage. There will be special guest appearances by Josie Lou as well as Pamela Murphy and the Hudson Valley Fine Arts Singers.

The days schedule of events include The Classic Car Show beginning at 10:30 a.m. the Parade which kicks off at 12:05 p.m. and music throughout the day on the Main Street Stage beginning at 11:00 a.m.. A rain date is scheduled for August 31.

As a special surprise there will be Fireworks at dusk provided by Town of Liberty Jewish Summer Camps. Fireworks will go off over the Cemetery Near Jeff Bank of Liberty and can be best seen from Darbee Lane, Church Street, Oberferst Street and Cold Spring Road.
