The Ocean County Columbus Day Parade Committee is proud to announce that they have chosen Stephanie Mongiello Wauters of Toms River to be Grand Marshal for the 33rd Annual Celebration. Each year the selection is difficult because there are several worthy individuals nominated and reviewed by the search committee.

After carefully reviewing each of them, the search committee has chosen Stephanie Mongiello Wauters. This year’s Columbus Day Parade will be held on October 13. The three-day Italian Festival begins on October 11.
