Featuring live music, multiple cash prizes, help for the hungry, and a reception on the Courthouse lawn, the Sidewalk Easter Parade offers a good way to spend some pleasant time on this very special afternoon. The parade’s purpose is to help people celebrate Easter by dressing up, having fun, and providing food for those who need it.
