Navassa Parade History
In
1981 a few Navassa Natives saw the need to plan an event that would
highlight the community's rich history, in addition to providing an
opportunity for those natives who now live elsewhere to come and reunite
with their heritage. As time past, various activities were planned that
would highlight the community's natural resource.....it's residents.
From the fruits of this labor came a host of ideas and events that would
spawn into the 1st Annual Navassa Parade which was held July 10, 1982.
The Parade committee sponsored several events that included a Banquet,
Pageant and Parade. Due to the tremendous success of these events,
organizers decided to make the Parade and annual event scheduled on the
second Saturday in July.
In 1985, the Parade popularity gave way to the addition of an "Oldies but Goodies" dance and Boat Cruise.
The parade has grown to be an event that is attended by over three
thousand people and has over fifty entries in the parade itself. The
Navassa citizens are proud of the vision that a few natives had which
show cased our community. Today we continue to share their vision with
the rest of the world by keeping their vision alive for all generations
to come.
