Community judges will score parade entries to award five $50 cash prizes to the entries chosen in the following categories - Cheesiest, most Agricultural, most Historic, most Patriotic and Judge’s Choice. 

The parade starts south of the village and takes the traditional route north on Main Street through the village of Cabot.  Parade viewers may sit anywhere along the parade route that is not restricted; you are encouraged to bring your own lawn chair.
