Secaucus Holiday Parade And Tree Lighting Is This Saturday

SECAUCUS, NJ — The Christmas/Hanukkah holiday season officially begins this Saturday in Secaucus!

First, the town will host pictures with Santa and a craft bazaar at the Recreation Center on Koelle Blvd. from 10:00 a.m. until 4:30 on Saturday. Stop by to have your child sit on Santa's lap and also to check out the vendors, many of whom are small-business owners who live right here in our town.

Then, all should bundle up and come out in the cold Saturday evening to watch the annual Secaucus holiday parade. The Secaucus holiday parade starts at 7 p.m. at the town library and will walk to Plaza Center. There, there will be a Christmas tree lighting followed by fireworks.

Here are the local community groups walking in the parade:

• Dynamic Marching Band
• Secaucus Cub Scouts (dressed as Christmas presents)
• Secaucus Brownies (dressed as snowmen)
• Secaucus Boy Scouts
• Secaucus national championship-winning cheerleaders
• Mayor Mike Gonnelli and Council
• Secaucus Police
• Secaucus Fire Department
• U.S. Coast Guard
