MORRISTOWN – Marching bands, floats, fire department vehicles, organizations and businesses all joined together Monday to celebrate July 4.
The long-standing parade has been a fixture in the community for more than 50 years, and returned after a two-year pandemic-induced hiatus.
In addition to the Morristown Central School marching band, other bands appearing in the parade came from Ogdensburg Free Academy, Heuvelton and Gouverneur.
A number of politicians running for election in November made appearances.
A large crowd turned out to enjoy the festivities. A chicken barbecue and craft fair followed.
