ISLAND HEIGHTS – Join Island Heights for Founder’s Day on July 28! This year marks the 140th anniversary of the incorporation of the Island Heights Association.
The parade will launch from the Pavilion at Central and River Aves. At 11 a.m., marching along to Memorial Field. Local organizations like the Island Heights Volunteer Fire Department, Island Heights First Aid Squad, Island Heights Elementary School Band, Central Regional JROTC, Central Regional Band & Color Guard and both the Girl and Boy Scouts will all take part in the parade.
You can join in the fun as well! Local families are invited to participate in the parade and the day’s events at the Founder’s Day Fair.
