Miles of Smiles

It All Started in 1978...

The first parade was a small part of the Northeast World Jubilee, sponsored by the Transmountain Optimists (TMO). With only 30 entrants marching from Sunrise Shopping Center to Northpark Mall, a legacy was born. Today, we honor that history as we continue to grow, led by the Mimbela Family and a dedicated committee of volunteers.
