"It's a great way to kick off the holiday season, and thanksgiving's just around the corner, and the kids get to see all the fire trucks," said Heather Otis, an Endwell resident.
Boscov's Department store helped sponsor the parade along with the county and city.
Spectators were also treated to a free screening of the holiday movie Christmas with the Cranks.
