Doo Dah Parade Is This Weekend In Ocean City

OCEAN CITY, NJ — The Doo Dah parade, Ocean City's annual tribute to humor, is returning on April 15.

The parade kicks off at 12 p.m. on Sixth Street. This year, Phillies great Mickey Morandini will serve as grand marshal and lead the way.

The route travels downtown Asbury Avenue to 12th Street, then turns to the Boardwalk at 12th Street and finishes on the boardwalk at Sixth Street.

Morandini will be available after the parade for an hour for autographs and photos at Ocean City Music Pier.

This beloved parade began as a way to celebrate the end of income tax season and has grown into a highlight of Ocean City's spring events. The procession features marching bands, floats and a brigade of hundreds of basset hounds.

It is the only city parade held in both the downtown and the boardwalk districts.
