The parade will begin at noon at the corner of South Orange and Littleton avenues in Newark, immediately followed by the festival next to Commons Senior, 140 South Orange Ave.
The theme of this year’s parade is “The Faces of New Community.” There will be five floats representing various parts of NCC in addition to those marching.

In addition to the live entertainment, the Family Festival will include an international food court, a beer and wine garden (for ages 21 and older with proper ID), a Health Zone and an area for children. Kids will enjoy a video game truck, pony rides, bounce houses, arts and crafts and more. The festival ends at 5 p.m.
