PORT WASHINGTON, NY — The 2019 Pride in Port event is over and if you missed it, you missed out. It was a day of parades, American flags, vikings, cheering, and more.

While the schools were well represented — some even building impressive floats for the occasion —the Friends of the Port Washington Public Library marched in the parade, as well as the Port Washington Fire Department, members of the U.S. Army, Spectrum Designs Foundation and more.

Several talented young people even put on a show by leaping through the air to break wooden boards with their feet.
