Haymarket Day brings a parade, vendors, entertainment and family activities into town. Preparation makes a busy community event easier to enjoy.
Confirm this year's details
Use the official Haymarket Day page for the current date, hours, parade information and announcements. The event is traditionally held on the third Saturday in October, but rely on the current notice.
Plan arrival
Large events change normal traffic and parking. Review town instructions shortly before the event, allow extra time and follow posted restrictions. Do not reuse parking information from a prior year.
Prepare for conditions
Check the forecast, wear comfortable shoes and review event rules before bringing pets, chairs or large items.
Support local businesses
Businesses may have special hours or limited access during the event. Browse the Haymarket directory in advance, confirm plans directly and avoid blocking entrances along the parade route.
