The 10th Annual Hoboken Baby Parade

May 15, 2011

Spring heralds the return of a century-old community tradition, the Hoboken Baby Parade, in which Hoboken’s babies venture out in their finest attire, toddlers flaunt their cutest costumes, and parents create amazing mini-floats balanced atop carriages and wagons.

The Parade begins at Sinatra Park—located at Fifth Street and the Hudson River—and proceeds south along the waterfront to Pier A. The Parade is free and registration begins at noon. Parents are encouraged to dress up their babies, toddlers and older siblings—and, of course, themselves and their strollers. Trophies are awarded for Best Dressed Child, Most Creative Carriage, and Best Dressed Family (the latter category has been awarded to twins and triplets, families with multiple children, parents and children, cousins, and even playgroups).
