Saratoga-Wilton Elks Seek Entertainment Acts for Patriot Day Parade On 9/11

Saratoga Springs — On Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021, Saratoga-Wilton Elks Lodge No. 161 will sponsor a Patriot Day Parade commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the 9-11 tragedy. The parade’s theme will be “Honoring Our Community Heroes.”

The Elks plan to honor local first responders who went to New York City to assist with search and rescue efforts after the Twin Towers fell, as well as local community first responders, essential workers and community service providers who have been at the forefront of the local response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Elks are looking for musical acts, color guards, and marching bands to provide entertainment during the parade. Groups interested in performing, email the Lodge Secretary at saratogawiltonelks161@albany.twcbc.com and request a participation application. 

Parade participants will march down Broadway in the City of Saratoga Springs starting at noon. The Avant Garde Alumni will be again reuniting and providing a featured performance in the parade.
