Every year our Annual Gala Banquet is held the Friday previous to the Sunday on which the Parade takes place.  This is a celebration after the hard work and many efforts of all those involved during the entire year in the realization of the events related to the Parade.  Special recognitions to distinguished personalities are presented at this gala banquet.  More than one thousand people attend this event.  Tickets to attend this banquet are always in grand demand.
