Hoboken Baby Parade 2025: A Historic Revival!

We’re excited to revive a beloved Hoboken tradition—The Hoboken Baby Parade—which we’re bringing back after hosting it for ten successful years! This fun-filled, family-friendly fundraiser will take place on May 10th, 2025, and is a celebration of the town’s rich history and vibrant community spirit. Dating back to the early 1900s, Hoboken was known for its large, close-knit families, and this parade continues to honor that tradition.

Event Logistics:

• Date & Time: May 10th, 2025 | 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
• Cost: $10 per family (this donation will help support the Museum's programming for 2025)
• Registration: Opens at 12:00 PM at Sinatra Park Amphitheater (located along the waterfront).
• Parade Route: The march will begin at Sinatra Park Amphitheater, continue along the beautiful waterfront, and loop around Pier A, before ending at the fountain where the trophy awards ceremony will take place.

• Best Dressed Child

Bring Your Coolest Designs!

This event is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your creativity. Bring your little ones in their most adorable, imaginative costumes or go all out with unique themed outfits for the whole family! This is truly a one-of-a-kind event that celebrates Hoboken's spirit, and we can't wait to see the fun and colorful designs!

How It Works:

The parade will gather at Sinatra Park Amphitheater at 12:00 PM for registration and staging. After check-in, participants will line up for the parade, which will march along Hoboken’s scenic waterfront, culminating at Pier A near the fountain. The awards ceremony will follow, where winners of each category will be presented with trophies.

Fundraiser Opportunity:

This event will also serve as a fundraiser for the Hoboken Historical Museum, helping us continue our mission of preserving Hoboken’s unique history and culture. We encourage everyone to participate, bring their families, and get involved in this fantastic community event.
