Officials Hosting “MANHATTAN STRONG PARADE”

In an effort to lift spirits and thank residents for being “strong” during this challenging time, the Village of Manhattan, along with the Manhattan Fire, Police & Emergency Management Agency and the Manhattan School District are hosting a parade. Residents are being encouraged to decorate their windows and doors, make posters, put out American flags and wear your Manhattan School pride shirts.

Residents are advised to practice good social distancing and remain in their homes or at front door entrances as the parade makes its way past residents. The parade will begin at the school and drive through multiple subdivisions within the village.
