The event is being organized by the Huntington Awareness Community Partnership and is co-chaired by Supervisor Frank Petrone, Dolores Thompson and Al White. There will be food, games, assorted special attractions, sidewalk sales and plenty of fun.
The parade will kick-off at 9:45 a.m. from the rear parking lot of the Station Shopping Center on E. 15th Street and New York Avenue.
