Long Island's ​Sal Valentinetti to Lead Huntington Holiday Parade

“America’s Got Talent” finalist and Long Island native Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti will serve as the parade's grand marshal and perform at the Huntington Holiday Parade and Street Festival on Saturday, Nov. 26.

The 21-year-old pizza delivery guy from Bethpage wowed the judges and the rest of America with his vocals on NBC’s hit talent show and transformed into a national singing sensation.

Valentinetti will perform a few numbers following the tree lighting, which will take place after the parade. He is known for performing the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and The Rat Pack.

“I’m honored and thrilled to be part of this Huntington tradition and I’m looking forward to it,” Valentinetti said.

He is also set to perform at The Paramount on December 15, 16 and 22.

During Valentinetti’s first performance on “America’s Got Talent,” he brought the judges and everyone in the audience to their feet with a rendition of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” Judge Heidi Klum used her golden buzzer to automatically catapult him to the next round of the competition. His strong stage presence and vocals brought him all the way to the show’s finale.

Valentinetti's audition became one of the show’s most popular videos on the internet. A video of his audition has gained more than 6 million views on Facebook.
