Passaic Co. Firefighters Plan Holiday Parade

PASSAIC COUNTY, NJ – After the cancellation of the Wallington Fire Department’s Annual Holiday Parade, firefighters in Totowa and Woodland Park have decided to put together a new kick off to the holiday season.

For the past 17 years, Wallington Fire Department’s parade was one of northern New Jersey’s most well-known holiday events, drawing hundreds of decorate fire trucks and first responder vehicles from across the region, as well as thousands of spectators to the small Bergen County community.

Wallington FD Cancels 2019 Holiday Parade

Wallington Fire Department announced last month it would be cancelling this year’s parade due to rising costs and fewer volunteers to help with planning but hopes to organize one in 2020.

But, for this year, fire departments in Woodland Park and Totowa hope to help families start off the holidays right.

A parade is scheduled for Nov. 30 at 6 p.m., starting off at 515 Union Boulevard in Totowa and end in Woodland Park at 1070 McBride Avenue.

The parade can be viewed from several locations, including Union Boulevard and Totowa Road down to the Hillary Street Bridge and McBride Avenue in the area of Hillary Street.
