Join us for the 43rd Annual Columbus Day Parade, a celebration of heritage, history, and community. We march to honor the spirit of exploration and discovery represented by Christopher Columbus, and to celebrate the generations of Italian Americans and immigrants from around the world who have helped shape our communities. The parade is more than just a celebration; it’s a moving tribute to our shared history, our diverse identities, and the ongoing story of the American experience. Want to Join Us? Whether you're a cultural group, school band, civic organization, or just proud of your heritage—you’re welcome. March with us and be a part of history in motion!
