CHITTENANGO, N.Y. -- The main event of the 40th annual Oz-Stravaganza brought large crowds to Chittenango Saturday.
The parade always has a big turnout.
Characters from the Wizard of Oz marched along the route, joined by members of the community and a few floats.
Attendees say the parade is a highlight, but the festival offers so much more.
"Check all the food out down by the carnival rides and enjoy the rides and the games and really just a bunch of friendly people," parade attendee Dean Dipilato said. "It really is a family event. It's a great place for the kids and the young at heart as well."
The event runs through Sunday.
