This year the event is “Barkum and Bailey’s Flea Ring Circus – the Greatest Show on Arf.” You can pre-register at Dog Ears Books or Pennington Collection in Northport, or on-line at the northportomenachamber.org.
You can also register the day of the parade at the Mill Pond. Participants should be at the Mill Pond no later than 11:30 a.m. Saturday. The parade starts at noon.
