One of the favorite parts of Open Streets is the parade along the route! Local jazz and funk band, DTW, is returning to lead this year’s parade from Central Park to Peanut Park. The parade starts at 11:30 am from Central Park. Anyone can join! We’ll meet at the corner of 8th St and Madison Ave, near the southwest corner of the park, a couple of minutes prior to the start. Look for the parade ambassador!
