Worcester Columbus Day Parade
"In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue.. He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain. He sailed by night; he sailed by day; He used the
stars to find his way. A compass also helped him know - How to find the way to go."
Worcester Columbus Day Parade Committee proudly presents the Worcester Columbus Day Parade which is a fun filled, 3 Division Parade which marches down Shrewsbury Street, in Worcester, Massachusetts beginning at the corner of Aitchison Street and proceeds down Shrewsbury Street, and ending at Washington Square near Union Station.
