Bands took over Grand Island Senior High’s Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

The Harvest of Harmony Parade returned for its 80th year with communities coming together, lining up along the parade route to celebrate the occasion. Most participating groups were high school band from all across Nebraska, along with University of Nebraska-Omaha and University of Nebraska-Kearney bands as well. On a day which brings music, food, and community together, Grand Island residents are reminded what the event truly means to the city.

Harvest season usually means a trip to the Farmers’ Market and those days are numbered. The Farmers’ Market has entered its final weeks of sales. Local vendors have been setting up camp in Highland Park every Saturday morning since June and will close up shop by the end of the month. It’s also prime growing season for farmers and many who come to the market share a bit of what they worked so hard for.
