After skipping a year due to the pandemic, the over 60-year-old Columbus Day parade and high school marching band competition in Binghamton is coming back.
Several posters promoting "Indigenous Peoples Day" were glued to the Boscov's store in downtown Binghamton just before the city's Columbus Day celebration.
In Binghamton, Columbus Day isn’t just about Italian heritage, it’s about high school musicians who participate in the annual Tournament of Bands parade competition.
Columbus Day has been a U.S. holiday since 1937, but some of the "facts" about Christopher Columbus and his discovery of America have largely been dispelled.
