“It’s a nice community event, it’s very family-friendly,” McClellan said. “The goal from the beginning has been to ensure that it is family-friendly and very affordable. It is free to attend, and most of the activities are free as well.”

Brand-new this year is a Magic Show starting at noon which will be free to attend, McClellan said. There will also be bounce houses for kids to play in for free, and a free live musical performance by Lefty Daytona from 5 to 8 p.m.

The Livingston/Williamson Fire Department will be grilling up burgers, hot dogs and brats from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. There will also be sno-cones for sale, and face-painting for a small fee.

This year’s Summer Fest will also see appearances from the Olive Fire Protection District’s new fire truck, as well as a medical transport helicopter. There will also be a Story Book Walk provided by the Staunton Public Library.

McClellan said they strive to provide a variety of vendors at Summer Fest and will welcome a new vendor this year for a local home remodeling business. She also thanked this year’s major sponsors, which are as follows:

  • Village of Livingston
  • Livingston Park Association (sponsoring Lefty Daytona)
  • Third Street Realty (sponsoring the Magic Show)

The 2023 Livingston Summer Fest will be held at Veterans Memorial Park, located across the street from 536 Veterans Memorial Dr. in Livingston.
