By Beth Besen

‘Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say.’ But seeing is believing otherwise! Come see Frosty as he returns to his hometown of Armonk for the annual Frosty Day Parade, Saturday November 29th of Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend.

The action begins at noon with all kinds of events and fun-filled family activities. Enjoy a Main Street scavenger hunt, Frosty cartoons shown at the North Castle Public Library, and dance and musical performances in Armonk Square. You’ll be entertained by magicians, marching bands, carolers and clowns as you visit shops, get your face painted, frost holiday cookies and more. Want a break from strolling town? Take a train ride around Armonk or go on a hayride through Wampus Brook Park.

Then comes the highlight of the day – the Frosty Day parade! Get ready to clap and cheer as the parade kicks off at 4:30 p.m. and heads down Main Street, then onto Bedford Avenue, past the “Village Square” mentioned in the famous song, and finally ends at Wampus Park with a gala holiday lighting ceremony. More than 30 local groups and organizations will participate with floats, lights, dancing, costumes and music to welcome Frosty home.

Armonk’s Frosty Parade is the only holiday parade in the Tri-State region. For further information on all things Frosty, please visit ArmonkFrosty.com.
