The annual Tournament of Marching Bands will once again be a big part of the parade with several New York State and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania high school bands.
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.
