The 66th Annual Victoria Day celebrations have official kicked off in Woodstock. The World's Finest shows opened the festivities at Southside Park Thursday afternoon and will continue on through the weekend. Back again this year is the men's fastball tournament with the first pitches being thrown Friday evening. Festivities continue Monday morning with the parade. City of Woodstock Manager of Community Services, Brad Janssen says the parade will leave from the Woodstock Fairgrounds at 10:00 am sharp. "It will weave its way down Dundas Street to Wellington, than to Henry and Finkle into the park. We have 15 major league marching bands, we have all kinds of floats about 50 to 60 entires in total. And then at 1 o'clock in the sports field, we have six of the best marching bands in the province performing field performances during the Band Tattoo. We're asking people to bring a non-perishable food item as a price of admission that we'll give to the food bank". The parade will go rain or shine Monday but if the weather turns soggy, Janssen says the Band Tattoo will move into the Southwood Arena at the Community Complex at 1:00 pm. Heart FM will pass along the details if the event is moved. For a full list of the activities, click here to visit the City of Woodstock website.
