Centennial Parade

From the Community Director

It was wonderful to see our residents gather along the parade route to cheer on Franklin Lakes as we marched from Commerce Street to Franklin Avenue, to DeKorte Drive, ending by Borough Hall to celebrate this special anniversary of 100 years. Local businesses and organizations entered floats that fit the parade's Centennial theme, "Pride In Our Past, Faith In Our Future!"

 

After the Parade, everyone joined us at the Municipal Field for live music by Whiskey Helps, Ryan Townsend, Michael Deej and Phantom DJ. The following food trucks were there: Jersey Johnny Grill, Latin Bites, Rainbao, Soup Phantom, Ervings Brisket, Fresh Catch Streats, Waffles and Dreams, Tin Can Confections, Taco Papi, Pine Acres Lemonade, and Kona Ice. The Franklin Lakes Parks and Recreation Foundation sponsored the beer and wine garden. The Franklin Lakes/Wyckoff Lions Club hosted the games of chance!

There were lots of family fun activities including inflatables, balloonist, caricature artist, 25' rock wall, sports challenge (basketball, soccer kick, football toss), castle (bounce, climb, basketball hoop, slide), home run challenge, mini golf, fun house obstacle, a trackless train, pony rides, horse and wagon rides, and petting zoo.
