Ocean City Doo Dah Parade is Saturday

OCEAN CITY – The early forecast for the weekend looks great, and Ocean City will be ready to welcome spring with the annual Doo Dah Parade on Saturday, April 15.

 The Doo Dah Parade is Ocean City’s season-opening celebration of all things humorous. The procession features marching bands, floats and a brigade of hundreds of basset hounds. The parade starts at noon Saturday. The route starts at Sixth Street and travels downtown Asbury Avenue to 12th Street, then turns to the Boardwalk at 12th Street and finishes on the boardwalk at Sixth Street.

 Philadelphia Phillies great Mickey Morandini will be the grand marshal of the parade.

 Morandini was the second baseman for an underdog Phillies team that reached the sixth game of the World Series in 1993.

Morandini will be available for free autographs and pictures at the Ocean City Music Pier for an hour after the parade.

 Some highlights will include the Pleasantville High School Marching Band, the Hobo Band, the Jersey String Band, the Woodland String Band, Crescent Shriner’s Mini Cars, the Wildwood High School Marching Band and the Atlantic City Fire Department Sandpipers Band.

Dietz and Watson returns as the event sponsor.
