It is this Sunday, time for the 66th Fall Foliage parade in North Adams!

This year's theme will be "Holidays On Parade"

This year's theme means honoring every holiday, from Valentine’s Day, New Year’s, National Ice Cream Day, Halloween, and everything in between. The 2022 grand marshals are the Arnolds and the Kings, two families who have been a big part of making so many families happy in North Adams and have been doing that for decades.

We here at WUPE love to be a part of this event, make sure you look out for us in the WUPE/WNAW vehicle.

This event loved by so many will take place this Sunday, October 2nd.

There will be some changes to the parade route this year.

This year’s parade route is 1.2 miles and mostly flat, making the parade more walkable for all ages and abilities. The shorter parade route is also less of a time commitment for participants.

Everyone in the parade will get in line at Curran Highway between DiSanti Field (north point) to United Cerebral Palsy (south point); roughly 400 Curran Highway to 535 Curran Highway

The ending point will be the Intersection of Ashland Street and Washington Ave, the same as last year.

Because the new starting location and staging area are different, traffic is able to detour Old State Street to access parts of Curran Highway. The road will be fully shut down along the parade route starting at 12:30 pm.

Here are some videos of the parade in the past to enjoy.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
