WESTWOOD—“The holidays will soon be upon us, and once again we look forward to your participation in the best parade of the year!”
That’s according to the Home For the Holidays Committee, which notes last year’s parade made a triumphant return, after missing 2020, with a spectacular crowd thanks to a mild December evening. “We appreciate the groups and organizations that made it happen.”
This year’s theme is 100 years of Musical History, in recognition of the many community and marching bands which have added seasonal music, color and joy to the parade, as well as for the spectators. It’s also the 100th anniversary of the Westwood Bandstand in Veterans Park — the committee encourages floats and groups to “share the richness public music brings to our community.”
Parade participants must provide a certificate of insurance, general liability for any organization marching, as well as automobile liability for any float or vehicle. Certificates are due Nov. 21. Once the committee has your paperwork it’ll issue a parade pass and line-up number on Monday evening, Nov. 28. As is always the case, the parade is rain, snow, or shine. There is no rain date. Please prepare accordingly.
Says the committee, “Thank you for making this the great traditional start to the holiday season in the Pascack Valley. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, Dec. 3 on Roosevelt and Lexington avenues. The parade begins at 6 p.m.”
