Regional theme: 70 Years in Motion
Fall Foliage Leaf Hunt across three towns

The parade is scheduled to commence at 1 p.m. on Sunday, moving through the downtown streets of North Adams. The 2026 edition commemorates seventy years of tradition, focusing on the people, places, and significant moments that have shaped the Northern Berkshire region. Doug Yriart, a retired U.S. Naval Reserve officer and dedicated community volunteer, has been named the grand marshal for this anniversary year.

The parade serves as the conclusion to the Fall Foliage Festival week, which officially kicks off with the annual Fall Foliage Leaf Hunt on September 26. During the hunt, participants search for ten hidden colorful leaves across Adams, North Adams, and Williamstown using clues related to the event's historical theme. Found leaves must be returned to the Office of Tourism by October 10 to claim prizes provided by local businesses.
