Ragamuffin Parade Route Altered

The village is celebrating its 22nd annual parade this year.

Due to construction on Maple Avenue, Rockville Centre's 22nd Annual Halloween Costume Parade will not march down Maple Avenue as usual on Sunday, Oct. 28.

This year only, the parade will start in Municipal Parking Field No. 12 on the north side of Sunrise Highway between Forest Avenue and North Long Beach Road and march through the field, then north on Long Beach Road and then turn south on Oceanside Road to the Anderson Recreation Center.

The parade kicks off at 2 p.m. and is followed by a party at the Rec Center with games, fun and prizes for the costumed marchers.
