Niska-Day

Be a Niska-teer and celebrate Niskayuna's Bicentennial at their annual Niska-Day festival on Saturday, May 16th. There will be plenty of stuff for the kids including a parade, music, and a petting zoo. The day begins at 8am with a family run, followed by the parade at 10am and the rest of the activities (which are mostly free of charge).

Here is a link to their entertainment schedule. Fireworks start at 9:15.

From their website:

There will be craft vendors, an information tent featuring local not-for-profit organizations, games for children, bounces and rides, a day long food court and a gigantic fireworks display. Local businesses will again be present to promote their products and services. Other favorites returning will be pony rides, rock climbing wall, petting zoo, karaoke, clowns, photo magnets and caricatures. Musical entertainment for the day will appeal to “children” of all ages.
