The babies will have their day as the Borough of Stone Harbor presents the Al Cunard Baby Parade July 20.
The line up starts at 5:45 p.m., with the parade beginning at 6:30 p.m. on 96th St.
“This is one of our most popular events every year and is truly a sight to behold,” said event organizer Amy Giulian. “This year, we expect more than 75 infants and children to participate in strollers, carriages, wagons, bikes, and eye-catching floats.”
Register your children, ages birth to 12 years, for free.
Stone Harbor Mayor Suzanne Walters and a panel of judges will award prizes for Cutest Boy, Cutest Girl, Best Riding, Best Float and Best Walking Entrant. Special Judges’ and Mayor’s Awards will be presented for unique categories.
“This is an exciting way for proud moms and dads to meet new friends and neighbors with children of a similar age,” Giulian continued. “Best of all, every child wins, as each registered family receives a free participation trophy.”
Giulian went on to say that additional participation trophies may be purchased for just $5 each.
The Baby Parade is named in honor of the late Alfred Cunard, patriarch of the legendary Cunard Family of Clowns, who passed way at the age of 70 on May 19, 2007.
For 45 years, Cunard donned his clown make-up to entertain children at parades, festivals, parties, schools and hospitals. His zest for life and laughs inspired two generations of Cunards to follow him into the world of clowning.
Interested families can register for the Baby Parade July 13 through 20 at the Chamber of Commerce office, 212 96th St.
