The Ocean County Columbus Day Parade Committee is proud to announce that we have chosen a husband-and-wife team, Anthony and Kendra Zarrilli to be Grand Marshals for the 34th 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 Anthony and Kendra Zarrilli.
This year’s Columbus Day Parade will be held on Sunday, October 12, 2025. The three-day Italian Festival begins on Friday, October 10, 2025. There are several fundraisers held through-out the year including our Annual Dinner Dance, where the Grand Marshal will be honored and two other individuals or groups will receive our Italian American Service Award. Receiving the Service Award this year will be The Storino Family and Ocean County Commissioner Virginia Haines.
