“While you all may have started somewhere else, you’re here in wilkes-barre now and you’re part of the city and so it’s very cool to see the cultures from other countries come to the city and make the city even more lively and more bright, especially given that the city and the region has a very multicultural background,” explained Dan Kimbrough the grand marshal at the event.

After the parade, the celebration did not end it continued till 5:00 p.m.
