NORTH ADAMS, MA – The Berkshire Chamber of Commerce and the city of North Adams are proud to announce that the 57th Annual Fall Foliage Festival Parade will be held on Sunday, September 30, 2012. This year delivers a playful twist, featuring "Toys on Parade in Northern Berkshire," a theme sure to inspire a creative collection of floats and displays and delight children and adults of all ages.
“The parade committee wanted to choose a theme that would resonate with the child in all of us," said Christine Hoyt, Fall Foliage Parade Director. "This year’s theme allows for creativity and imagination with the creation of floats and the participation of marching units."
The 57th Fall Foliage Festival Parade is coordinated by the Berkshire Chamber of Commerce. “The Berkshire Chamber is thrilled to, once again, help support the Fall Foliage Parade,” said Michael Supranowicz, President & CEO of the Berkshire Chamber. “The parade is a time-honored tradition in North Berkshire and we understand that, now perhaps more than ever, it is important to businesses and residents to preserve this very special community event.”
The parade will step off this year on Sunday, September 30, 2012 at 1:00 PM from the Wal-Mart parking lot and continue down Curran Highway before winding through downtown North Adams. Thousands of Berkshire residents and visitors enjoy the annual parade, which commemorates the magnificent autumn season.
Although the parade is a couple months away, the organizational effort is already strong. Parade committee members are working to coordinate an array of marching bands, floats, banners and other marching units in preparation for this monumental event. With so many tasks ahead, the committee welcomes volunteers to help with the parade effort. This is a perfect opportunity to bring together your group and show your support for this annual event. For more information on the parade or to volunteer, call Christine Hoyt at (413) 499-4000, ext. 126 or visit www.fallfoliageparade.com.
