Route Changed For Firemen's Parade

PORT JERVIS — Kingston Avenue, a popular venue for viewing the final few blocks of the annual firefighters Inspection Day Parade, won't be on the parade route for the first time in decades because of the sidewalk renovation under way there.
Councilman Stan Siegel said the parade would instead disband just after the reviewing stand at Sullivan Avenue's intersection with East Main Street. Lineup for the parade is at 1 p.m. on Sussex Street. Marchers step off at 2 p.m., heading left on Ball Street, then right on Pennsylvania Avenue to Jersey Avenue to Front Street, Pike and East Main.
