I'll never forget going to Downtown Binghamton Christmas parades every year with my Mom, Dad, brother and sisters.  It always seemed magical to me because I could always count on this parade to include a glimpse of Santa riding in his sleigh at the very end of the parade and the official start of the holiday season.

Saturday is an opportunity to make new family memories when the 2014 Downtown Holiday Parade visits downtown Binghamton, beginning on Main Street up to the Binghamton roundabout.  The parade begins at 1:30pm.

Look for the Hawk van and wave a good wave.  As of this writing, the weather looks like it may hit mid 30's Saturday and near 50 on Sunday!
