The Pittston Tomato Festival Committee cordially invites you to the 41st ANNUAL PITTSTON TOMATO FESTIVAL PARADE, which will be held in downtown Pittston on Saturday, August 17th, at 11:00 a.m. All area civic, social, and school organizations, as well as public officials, are encouraged to participate. ​

We are asking for your participation, but participation with a flare. Do something special for us this year. Decorate your vehicle or create a tomato-themed float. Make a Banner to let us know who you are. Tell us about you and/or your organization.

There will be a 5K run starting first, so the streets will be blocked off at 9:30 a.m. Participants in the parade need to be lined up by 9:30 a.m. The parade route is approximately two miles long and will begin on Main Street of South Pittston, proceed through Downtown, and around to Kennedy Boulevard, ending on East Street, adjacent to Coopers Co-op Building.

It is time to start preparing. Time goes by quickly, so make plans now. Please complete the enclosed entry form and return it to us by August 5th so we can set up the divisions, etc.

Don’t miss out on all the FUN, FOOD, FRIENDS, and TOMATOES…….
