“We had some great participants this year in the parade. We had some really different types of floats. Some of them were absolutely just beautiful,” said Williamsburg Main Street Manager Nannie Hays.

“The weather was great. We had a great crowd downtown. I think each year it is starting to grow. The committee did an excellent job of getting it together and getting everything set up.”
