Watch the Morrison’s Cove Agricultural Parade from the Best Seat in the House
Skip the traffic and enjoy one of Central Pennsylvania’s most unique summer traditions aboard the Everett Railroad Parade Train! This special excursion gives guests a front-row seat to the Morrison’s Cove Agricultural Parade, combining small-town charm with the unforgettable experience of watching the parade. Passengers will get off of the train to enjoy the parade from reserved seating.
Your adventure begins as you board a comfortable Everett Railroad passenger train in Hollidaysburg or Roaring Spring. From there, you’ll travel to your reserved viewing location along the parade route, where you’ll remain comfortably seated- in reserved bleachers along the parade route while the entire community celebration passes right by your window.
Instead of dealing with crowded streets, parking, or long walks, you can sit back and enjoy the full parade experience from a shaded, elevated vantage point aboard the train. It’s one of the most relaxed and memorable ways to take in this beloved local event.
