Experience the 2025 Ayden Collard Festival Parade – Live with Coltrain Hardware & Garden Center
If you’re from Eastern North Carolina, you know that September in Ayden means one thing – it’s time for the Ayden Collard Festival! Known as the longest-running collard festival in the state, this week-long celebration of food, fun, and community is a true hometown tradition. At the heart of it all is the Ayden Collard Festival Parade, and this year, you can watch every moment live thanks to Coltrain Hardware & Garden Center.
A Parade Like No Other
The streets of historic Downtown Ayden, NC will come alive with marching bands, colorful floats, dance teams, civic groups, and local businesses, all joining together to showcase the spirit of our small town. From kids waving flags to tractors rolling proudly down Third Street, the parade is a snapshot of everything that makes Ayden special.
Bringing the Festival to You
We know not everyone can make it downtown, so Coltrain Hardware & Garden Center is excited to host the 2025 Collard Festival Parade Livestream. Whether you’re watching from your living room, tuning in from out of state, or just reliving the memories later, this stream makes it possible to be part of the celebration no matter where you are.
Why Collards?
Ayden’s deep agricultural roots are tied to the collard green, a staple of Southern kitchens and a symbol of community pride. The Ayden Collard Festival has been honoring this humble leafy green for decades, and the parade is a highlight that draws visitors from across Pitt County and beyond.
Presented by Coltrain Hardware & Garden Center
At Coltrain Hardware & Garden Center, we believe in celebrating local traditions and supporting the community we serve. Just like the parade brings together neighbors and visitors, our store is built on the idea of connection – helping you with everything from garden supplies and homestead know-how to hardware essentials.
