Description

Are you ready for a parade? On Saturday June 13, 2026 we will gather for a very special Founders Day as we celebrate From Sea to Shining Sea – Stafford Celebrates 250 through the heart of downtown Manahawkin! We want our parade through our historic town to be bigger and better than ever. Are you a local business owner, do you have a cool classic car? Are you a part of one of our many athletic associations, do you belong to a local civic organization, non-profit, car club or just want to get a group together and celebrate? Well, sign up to be a part of our parade today! It’s totally free, you can pass out candy or promotions along the route and it’s a blast! We want all of you there to help us celebrate this decades-long tradition of celebrating the founding of Stafford Township in 1749 and 250 years of America. Parade applications are available on the Recreation page at https://www.staffordnj.gov/428/Founders-Day or in this post. Become a part of Stafford history!
