POCOMOKE PREPARES FOR ANNUAL PARADE
On
Monday night, December 1, 2014, Pocomoke City will be transformed into a
“Winter Wonderland” as the town plays host to one of Delmarva’s largest
nighttime Christmas parades.
Always
held on the first Monday night after Thanksgiving, the Pocomoke parade has
become an Eastern Shore tradition and will attract over 100 units from
Maryland, Delaware and Virginia along with thousands of spectators.
We have our web
site up and running. This is where you will find the applications and rules for
this year’s event. If you are interested in participating this year you should
go to pocomokechristmasparade.com to
register. If you have any questions you can contact Mike Shannon at
410-726-5777 and leave a message with your name, address and telephone number
and type of entry.
Each
year the parade features marching bands representing high and middle schools
from seven counties in three states.
Also featured will be beautifully decorated and lighted floats entered
by schools, civic organizations, churches, and commercial enterprises.
Clowns,
marching units, fire departments, equestrian units, and of course Santa Claus
will round out the two-hour event, slated to kick-off at 7:00 p.m. sharp. The route will take the parade north on
Market Street beginning at 14th Street and ending at the Pocomoke
River.
Professional
judges, including members of the National Judges Association (NJA), will score
entries in many different categories.
Awards will be awarded immediately following the event to the top
entries in each category.
A special thanks
to the community of Pocomoke City and surrounding areas for the recent support
given to us to continue this great tradition that has been a part of the town
of over 40 years.
In the event of
inclement weather, the parade will be postponed until Tuesday, December 2, at
7:00 p.m.
