Westerly / Pawcatuck Columbus Day Parade

Experience Our Local Italian Heritage

​Dive into the rich history of our annual parade celebrating Italian heritage in Westerly, RI, and Stonington, CT. for the past 73 Years.  We are the only known two state parade in the country crossing into Pawcatuck onto Stillman Avenue.  We are dedicated to providing a memorable experience for our communities with local schools marching bands, the Westerly Band that has participated since the very first procession, to local civic groups.  Our units also include groups from as far away as Vermont and New York.  We pride ourselves as being open to anyone who wants to participate, but only brings pride and excitement to our two towns.
