Old Home Day Parade Theme : 2013 Edition

Give Your Regards to Broadway!
The East Hampton Old Home Day Association invites organizations, businesses, classmates, troops, groups of family and friends, musicians, arts and cultural groups, or any one in between to participate in Old Home Days 35th Annual Celebration, July 11-13, on the Center School Grounds, East Hampton, CT.

This year's theme, Parade of Broadway Musicals, offers you a wonderful opportunity to be creative when designing your OHD parade float for inclusion in the Old Home Day Parade, scheduled for Saturday, July 13, beginning at 11:00 a.m. Choose to pay tribute to your favorite Broadway musical and join the parade!

The Spotlight's On You!
Everyone has a favorite musical. Would you like to channel Auntie Mame, Dolly Levi, or the Phantom of the Opera? You might also jazz it up with Grease, Chicago, or Hairspray. If you are a fan of Rogers & Hammerstein, try a classic such as The King and I, South Pacific, or Cinderella. Go Disney with the Lion King or Beauty and the Beast or rock out with tunes from Mamma Mia, Rock of Ages, Rent or Hair.
