Scenes from Today's Parade

A parade down Warren Street this afternoon, featuring stilt walkers and unicyclists trained by the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and kids from the Helsinki Band Camp, kicked off the annual Black Arts and Cultural Festival in Hudson.

The festival is happening at Henry Hudson Riverfront Park until 8 p.m. today, at which time it moves to the Savoia, 214 Warren Street, for a night of jazz and R & B. Tomorrow the Black Arts and Cultural Festival returns to riverfront park, from 4 to 7:30 p.m., for a day of gospel music.
