SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J.—A grand Columbus Day Parade was held on Oct. 9 in the beach resort borough of Seaside Heights to honor the Italian community and protest the cancellation of Italian heritage and culture.

Colorful floats, the Italian flag, the American flag, marching bands, musical groups, waist drummers, and dignitaries filled the streets to celebrate the ethnic culture festival.
