Philadelphia Flyers great Mark Howe will be the grand marshal of the annual Doo Dah Parade on Saturday, April 18.
A legendary defenseman, Howe played 16 seasons in the NHL, including 10 with the Flyers. He reached the Stanley Cup finals three times, and was a finalist for the Norris Trophy three times.
Howe will be available for free autographs and pictures at the Ocean City Music Pier for an hour after the parade.
The Doo Dah Parade is Ocean City’s celebration of all things humorous. The procession features marching bands, floats and a brigade of hundreds of basset hounds. The parade begins at noon Saturday. The route starts at Sixth Street and travels downtown Asbury Avenue to 12th Street, then turns to the Boardwalk at 12th Street and finishes on the boardwalk at Sixth Street. Dietz and Watson returns as the event sponsor.
