David Fabiano of Northern Berkshire Community Television Corp. has been selected as the grand marshal for the upcoming 68th annual Fall Foliage Parade presented by 1Berkshire.
The Parade route will run from South Street at East and West Housatonic Streets, north to Wahconah Street at Wahconah Park. Adjacent side streets will be utilized for staging and disembarking.
During Pittsfield Community Television's "Parade in Preview" program, it was revealed that Sturgeon didn't believe Marchetti when he first got the call. He initially said "Yeah right" in disbelief.
There are typically about 170 units in each parade which is comprised of community groups, veterans' groups, fire departments, floats, balloons, musical units, and elected officials.
The parade steps off at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 1, from the intersection of State Street and Old State Street and marches 1.2 miles through downtown North Adams. It is presented by 1Berkshires.
