Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 26th. The parade assembles in Patriot’s Park at 4:30pm and steps off at 5:30pm. 

“This year promises to be bigger and better than ever” says Joe Arduino, Director of the Tarrytown Recreation Dept. Float and group registration is up 25 percent. 

New for this year, thanks to our sponsors, are prizes for: Best Float, Best Costume, Best Group, Finding Waldo and Best Overall. Come watch some of the most creative costumes and floats. The Sleepy Hollow High School Marching Band returns to entertain us along with St Christopher’s Band, The Tarrytown VFW Band, and The Tappan Zee Bridgemen. 

Following the parade, Arduino reminds everyone to stay for the Block Party. Carnival performers will also entertain us at the Block Party on Main Street. Once the DJ concludes, the AM Band plays until 10:30pm. Restaurants will be serving on the street with plenty of great food for everyone. The parade is a combined effort between The Village of Tarrytown, The Chamber of Commerce and Sponsors. Thank you to our sponsors: Tarrytown Honda, Royal Properties, On Track Sports, CitiBank, Allan Block Insurance, The Castle Hotel and Spa, McLaren Engineering Group, and Pro Safety.
