Free shuttle busses will transport festival goers to and from the parking lots.

The parade at 1:00 p.m. is a perennial favorite, growing in length and popularity each year.  While it features many favorites including floats, marching bands, politicians, royalty, horses, and fire trucks, this year's parade will have a few surprises too.

Following the parade, the crate derby will take center stage down main street, as boys and girls compete with wood, wheels and gravity to see who will be awarded the trophy.

Come join us October 6th and see if you agree;  the Stone Lake Cranberry Festival should be part of your destination calendar every year.
