Every year, the second weekend in June is the Colonial Beach Potomac River Festival. This annual event begins with the Colonial Beach Fireman's Parade. If you have never attended this event, it is different from all other parades. First, it is known as one of the loudest parades, as participants are not only allowed, but also encouraged, to use their sirens and air horns. Participants are not only judged on how clean their apparatus is, but also how well it is laid out and the knowledge of their crews. It is definitely an enjoyable event not only for the participants, but the spectators as well. 2nd Place Best Appearing Rescue Squad (Out of State) |
