The Hempfield Area High School marching band performs for the crowds on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018 while the Fort Ligonier Days parade makes its way through downtown Ligonier for the Fort Ligonier Days, which continues through Sunday.

Fort Ligonier Days continued Saturday, with the downtown parade serving as a signature event on the second day of the annual three-day festival.

Around 100 units — including traditional floats and 20 marching bands — participated in the community parade along East and West Main streets in Ligonier.

Other units included horse teams, antique cars, Syria Shrine clowns and a Wells Fargo Stagecoach group that presented a Gold Star spouse of a combat wounded veteran with a new vehicle as part of the Military Warriors Support Foundation’s “Transportation 4 Heroes” program.

Pittsburgh television personality Sally Wiggin served as parade marshal.

Events continue through Saturday evening and all day Sunday.
