To the delight of many local children and families, Darien VFW Post 6933 is proudly hosting the 15th annual July 4th Push-n-Pull Parade. In keeping with what has now become an annual tradition for Darien, the patriotic parade of children riding bikes, scooters, wagons and other non-motorized vehicles, usually decorated, will step off from Goodwives Shopping Center with a start time of 10:30 a.m. sharp. Families are encouraged to arrive at Goodwives Shopping Center from 9:45 a.m., where the Darien Community Band will entertain the waiting crowd before kickoff. The parade last year drew close to 3,000 residents. In the annual pre-parade contest, participants will have a chance to win honors in multiple categories, including a “best decorated” category for a vehicle with wheels (e.g., a tricycle, bicycle, scooter or wagon), a “best decorated” category for a float, and a “most patriotic” dressed family category.
