The city will celebrate Italian American culture and tradition with the Second Annual Bayonne Italian Heritage Parade on Saturday, Oct. 19. The parade will begin at 1 p.m. at 56th Street and Avenue C, continuing down Avenue C to Devlin Drive. This year’s event, which replaces the city’s long-running Columbus Day Parade, highlights the contributions of the Italian American community to Bayonne and beyond.
Following the parade, a post-parade party will be held at the Knights of Columbus on Avenue C. The event is organized by the Bayonne Heritage Association. For more information, residents can email
