Bagpipers, bands and fire departments from across Long Island (and from as far away as Glens Falls) came together in Greenport Saturday for the Greenport Fire Department’s 180th Washington’s Birthday Parade. The weather was relatively balmy compared with other recent years — in the mid-30s, and the parade squeaked to an end just before an afternoon of snow turned to rain overnight.
Edward Ender shared his photographs of the event, below, with The Beacon. We tip our hats to him, to the Greenport Fire Department, to everyone who showed up in the cold and to 180 more years of celebrating George Washington.
