Ocean City announced that Philadelphia Flyers great Brian Propp will be the grand marshal of the Doo Dah Parade on April 13...
The 37th annual Doo Dah Parade will start at noon on Saturday, April 13, with Propp leading the way. The Doo Dah Parade was born in Ocean City in 1986 as an event to celebrate the end of income-tax season. Over the years, it has become a highlight of the spring calendar of events. The procession features marching bands, floats and a brigade of hundreds of basset hounds.
The route has always been the same. The parade begins at Sixth Street and Asbury Avenue, proceeds to 12th and Asbury, turns east to the Boardwalk and concludes on the Boardwalk at Sixth Street. It is the only city parade held in both the downtown and the boardwalk districts.
Propp will be available for autographs and pictures at the Ocean City Music Pier for an hour after the parade.
