Looking ahead to clam fest

This year is a special one as the Yarmouth Clam Festival celebrates its 50th anniversary. Appropriately, this year’s parade theme is “#flashback Friday: 50 years on Parade.” Floats should reflect something, someone, or an event that has had significance in the last half century.

The parade application, as well as antique auto and craft show applications, are now available for download on the Applications page at www.clamfestival.com.

The festival will be held July 17-19.
