WILLIAMSPORT, PA — The unofficial kick off of the 2018 Little League World Series is nearly here, and we’re not talking about the first game. No, we’re talking about an evening of marching bands, silly costumes and copious amounts of shimmying. It’s the Grand Slam Parade! The one-of-its-kind event where participation is incredibly exclusive — you have to be one of the 16 champions that survived the regional tournament.
Participants also include the Guest Grand Marshall, national, regional and local marching bands, antique cars, fire trucks, military equipment and much, much more. The parade starts at the intersections of Susquehanna and West Fourth streets, moving past City Hall and ending at Market Street. More than 100 units will strut their stuff along the parade route, with bleachers along the way and plenty of sidewalk space to cheer.
The parade, scheduled to begin around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, will broadcast live on WYOU-TV from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dave Kuharchik, co-host of “PA Live!”, and Kelly Byrne, co-anchor of Eyewitness News’s early morning newscasts, will host the station’s coverage.
The station said it will also include a live stream of the event on its Facebook page and at pahomepage.com.
