Whoopie Pie Festival and Parade of Heroes Community Celebration

The First Annual Whoopie Pie Festival & Parade of Heroes Community Celebration will be recognizing the "everyday" heroes who put their lives on the line and worked through the COVID-19 Pandemic for the better good of our community. On August 27 there will be a parade to honor the everyday heroes including fireworks. CEDRR and the Paramount Theatre in collaboration with the Rutland Recreation Department, Come Alive Outside, Downtown Rutland Partnership, and other organizations from the Rutland Region will host this event.

In addition to the Parade, the Whoopie Pie Fest will include over 15 whoopie pie vendors who will offer samples and pies for sale!  Prizes will be awarded for the Overall Best, Most Creative and a People's Choice award.  The event will feature live music, kids activities, food trucks and much more!  The Whoopie Pie Festival starts at Noon with the Parade at 4:30 pm and concluding with fireworks at dusk.  Come join us for a day of fun-filled celebration!
