Picnic
The parade commences around 10 A.M. and ends at around 3 P.M. After the parade visitors are welcomed to stay in Washington Park for the picnic. The picnic has various festivities and vendor booths. The post-parade festivities often include a concert. The 2003 parade featured B2K. The concert was free with virtually unlimited space in the park for viewing. However, the crowd became unruly causing the concert to be curtailed. Over 40 attendees were taken to hospitals as a result. The 2006 parade featured Yung Joc, and the 2007 parade featured Pretty Ricky. However, it seems neither picnic included a concert.
