A parade scene featured in the The Greatest was filmed in downtown Woodstock in May of 2025.
WOODSTOCK - The Greatest debuts on Prime Video today, over a year after film crews took over downtown Woodstock.
It's an eight episode authorized scripted biographical sports drama of Muhammed Ali. Administrative Assistant/Film Coordinator for the Woodstock's Economic Development Office Lisa Lama explains how the Friendly City came to be a part of the series.
"The location manager initially reached out in February of 2025 and had previously been involved with Lock and Key, and that was back in 2021. So, based on that experience, he knew Woodstock was a community that could not only accommodate a major production but also enhance the overall filming experience."
She explains where you can find the Friendly City in the show.
"The main part that was filmed in Woodstock was the parade that celebrates a young Cassius Clay, later Muhammad Ali, winning the gold medal of the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome."
That filming took place in May of 2025 and you can find pictures of some the transformed downtown core below:
