Accompanied by his grandsons, this year's grand marshal, Joe Bloecker, led off the procession.

 

The Creative Edge dance studio's float was a vision in green.

 

The marchers from the Montauk Fire Department were having a grand time.

 

The Kiwanis Club of East Hampton had a Meet the Bloeckers theme for its float.
