Floats Have a great idea for a foat? Get the neighbors and kids together and start trimming and festooning! And while we know the pride of being named the best in this annual fiesta is all a Squantumite needs…the committee will be awarding cash prizes. In addition, the hood of the winning float will have a sign posted on their street announcing the great news for a week. Good luck!
Marchers of all kinds are welcome to join the parade! Individual or group marchers, marchers in costumes, as well as Local Youth Sports are welcome to march.
Decorate your baby carriages and wagons and join the festivities!
