Tractor parades are held annually in towns including Calistoga, Winters, Geyserville and Ferndale. Before heading out, be sure to confirm this year’s schedule with event organizers.

Dairy producers resurrected the popular campaign with the goal of sustaining a boost in milk consumption during the pandemic.
