The traditional "Clownfest Clown Parade" on the boardwalk of Seaside Heights is at 2:00 PM. This parade will have five marching bands and it will draw close to fifteen thousand spectators or more. Each clown should have a fun parade routine planned. Do something, simply walking and waving in the parade is not clowning. Come and strut your stuff! |
