Parade |
| Location: |
Parade starts 125th St. ends 106th Street, Troy. |
| Description: |
Beginning in 1976, the Uncle Sam Parade and Celebration has grown tremendously having thousands attend every year. The parade is one of several events marking Samual Wilson's birthday, which was Sept 13, 1766. Wilson was the Troy meatpacker and Massachusetts native who many believe was the inspiration for the Uncle Sam figure. Supporters of the Wilson story say he became associated with Uncle Sam when he stamped the initials "U.S."on barrels of meat he supplied to American forces in the war of 1812. Seeing the initials, soldiers began referring to wilson as Uncle Sam. Samual Wilson died in 1854 and is buried in Troy's Oakwood Cemetary.
The annual Uncle Sam Parade and Celebration, however, is more than just your everyday parade. It's a celebration of patriotism and citizen recognition. The two day event includes an annual graveside ceremony at the grave of Samual Wilson, the annual 'Uncle Sam Citizen of the Year Banquet', and immediately following the parade a celebration at the Knickerbacker Park. Park festivities include food, entertainment and the culmination of a spectacular fire works show at dusk.
