Sixteen years ago five Aquinnah families decided they didn't want to make the trek into Edgartown on the Fourth of July. So they started their own tradition: the Old South Road children’s parade. The small parade has morphed into a townwide gathering. This year the parade had some 25 floats, nearly 100 walkers, and even a replica Stanley Cup.
