What about Watchung between Midland and Valley? :->
I love the Montclair 'Fourth of July' parade. I usually sit over on Watchung about 1/2 way between Midland and Valley. Galaxyman has a house nearby and we park there and walk over to see the parade.
I can't wait to see the Barista 'float'.
Hi - we've gone for years now. Where do you think the best place to watch it is - any thoughts?
Hi all...I think one of the best places to catch the parade..is at the start...I say that, because that will be where I'm taping ( which is what I've been doing for over 11 years ) ..I like the set ups, getting some interviews..etc otherwise, I'd suggest where they have the Grand Stand, near the Park, on Vally Rd.
Look for me, still wearing my Hat, and come over and say Hi..maybe you'll get on Tv with a future broadcast of my cable show - Inside Montclair
To all
Have a Safe & Happy Holiday
