The Holiday Parade takes place every year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. As tradition holds, the parade will begin at 1:00 pm from Carriage Traders in South Glens Falls. It will then travel north along Route 9 through the village of South Glens Falls. The parade will showcase more than 110 entries, which include community groups, bands, floats, costumed characters, marchers and of course, an appearance by a very special guest: Santa Claus!
Beneficiaries for this year's parade will be Marine Corps Memorial Detachment No. 2's Toys for Girls and Boys and the Tri-County United Way "Live United" programs. These two groups distribute donated new toys and non-perishable food items to local families in Warren, Washington and northern Saratoga counties.
Parade participants and spectators are asked to please bring the following items:
- A new, unwrapped toy to donate to Toys for Girls and Boys
- A non-perishable food item to donate to the Tri-County United Way
Items for donation may also be brought to any Glens Falls National Bank office in the days leading up to the parade.
Groups are encouraged to participate in the event by registering online at www.poststar.com. Business sponsorships are available by contacting Patti Crotty, retail advertising manager of The Post-Star, at 742-3287 or via email.
