Join us at the 2026 Johnstown BBQ Day!

History Shared. Community Celebrated.

This historic event brings together families and businesses to celebrate life in Johnstown. Each year we like to incorporate elements of Johnstown’s history into the celebration. We look forward to continuing this tradition in 2026.

Location: 701 Charlotte Street

The Historic Parish House and Museum will provide tours of the former home of the Harvey and Mary Parish family, as well as our exciting exhibits…including the famous meteorite crash of 1924!
