46th Annual Woodbridge Holiday Parade Set for Dec. 3 |
Oct. 23, 2006
Floats and sponsors are being sought for the 46 th Annual Woodbridge Township Holiday Parade, Interim Mayor Joseph F. Vitale has announced.
The parade is set for 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 3, starting at Woodbridge High school and finishing at the reviewing stand in front of Town Hall. The theme for this year’s parade is “A Holiday of Reflection”.
“The Holiday Parade marks the start of the Holiday season here in Woodbridge Township,” says Mayor Vitale. “It is an event that brings the township together in the joyous spirit of the holidays.”
The parade features professionally-made floats constructed by the same company that designs floats for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in New York.
To be a parade participant or float sponsor, call Parks & Recreation Director John Eberhardt at (732) 596-4047 today. “Float sponsorship is a very visible and unique form of advertising for any local business or company,” says Mr. Eberhardt.
There is no fee for a marching spot, and each year more than 100 contingencies participate encompassing a splendid array of floats, marching units, fire and first aid members, veterans groups and bands, along with a trio of Queens and their Courts representing the three Township high schools. Making a special New Jersey appearance are guests of honor Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus.
Coordinated by the Township Parks & Recreation Department, the Holiday Parade is one of Woodbridge Township’s biggest events, drawing thousands of people each year and highlighting several holiday events in Woodbridge: the Holiday Train Display at the Barron Arts Center, Picture with Santa at Woodbridge Community Center, Christmas Tree Lighting, Chanukah Menorah Lighting and Barron Arts Center Holiday Concert.
