Growing Good Things in Our Community 🫐
This Blueberry Festival coverage is brought to you with support from Elzy Milling & Trade.
Elzy helps local farmers grow the good stuff — with fertilizer, seed and supplies that keep fields, gardens and even blueberry patches thriving.
Because fresh, delicious produce starts long before it reaches your plate (or your blueberry pie).
LEXINGTON — A seemingly foreign object shone above the village on Sunday afternoon.
The sun.
After weeks of recent rains and flooding — the likes of which forced the cancellation of most of the 2026 Lexington Blueberry Festival — the weather cleared for the annual parade from Lexington High School and down to Community Park.
The nearly hour-long parade featured all of the Blueberry Festival royalty, as well as queens and attendants from a myriad of other festivals and events around the state.
The Lexington High School Marching Band of Gold performed in the parade. There were politicians and political candidates. LHS athletic teams rode on trailers.
There were police cars and firetrucks.
Cheerleaders cheered. Twirlers twirled. Hundreds of children along the route delighted in tons of candy being tossed by participants.
There was even a dancing gorilla.
It was not the Blueberry Festival anyone in the village planned this year.
But the sun did shine on the parade.
