This year's event is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 6.

The Park Road Association invites you to be a participant in 15th annual Park Road Parade, set for Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012. 

The Park Road Parade is zany, unique, and most of all, a celebration of all that is good in West Hartford and beyond.

The parade features bands, clowns, dancers, floats, antique cars, dogs of all shapes and sizes, sports mascots, color guards, businesses, civic and cultural organizations and town officials. Each year the parade draws over 7,000 people to Park Road neighborhood.
