One of the most exciting moments of Jefferson’s Pilgrimage Festival is the beloved Pilgrimage Parade! This time-honored tradition fills the streets with festive energy as elaborately decorated carriages, costumed participants, and lively music bring history to life. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a longtime festival-goer, the parade is a must-see highlight of the weekend.
After enjoying the sights and sounds of the Pilgrimage Parade, take time to explore all that Jefferson has to offer! The town comes alive during the festival, with charming shops opening their doors to welcome guests in search of unique finds, handcrafted goods, and one-of-a-kind treasures. From antiques and artisan crafts to specialty foods and home décor, there is something for every shopper to discover.
Of course, no festival experience is complete without savoring the flavors of Jefferson. Throughout town, you will find a variety of delicious options to satisfy your cravings, from Southern comfort foods to gourmet delights. And while you explore, be sure to stop by the Foodie Tasting Room for a refreshing break. Our fresh-squeezed lemonades are the perfect way to cool down as you take in the festival’s sights and sounds. You can find us at our normal storefront location as well as in the park near the gazebo, where we will be serving up our signature lemonade to keep you refreshed throughout the festivities.
