Easter Car Parade Sunday

The 58th annual Easter Sunday Vintage Car Parade will step off this Sunday, March 31, at 1 p.m. from Tenth Street on Franklin Avenue.

The procession, led by hundreds of spectacular antique and classic and vintage cars, the Kiwanis Easter Bunnies and Kingsley Bear will head south on Franklin Avenue, then west on Seventh Street where it will disperse at Hilton Avenue

Spectators are invited to view the cars as they line up in parking field 9E between Ninth and Tenth Streets from 10 a.m. until parade step-off time at 1 p.m.

Adding to the fun will be the Town of Hempstead’s Showmobile, musical and MC Jim Rheel along with entertainment by his renowned Banjo Rascal. Both the Easter Bunnies and the Banjo Rascals will return to Seventh Street with their toe-tappin’ tunes in front of Bagelman and the Bunnies will hand out lollipops to the little ones.

The chamber acknowledges with thanks its sponsor, AAA New York, for provision of dash plaque souvenirs for vintage car owners who hail from throughout the metropolitan area and beyond. Also recognized are Hengstenberg’s and Feldis Florist for Easter Tree decorations and the Village Parks Department for its assistance.
