Freddy Fixer Parade with the Jeeps

The Jeeps will be joining the parade - More details to come. All Jeeps welcome to join us! There will be a convoy meeting point prior to the parade and we will all ride in together to the event.

About
Originating in 1962, the Freddy Fixer Parade is nationally recognized as one of the oldest Black American parades in the northeast. As such, it is incumbent upon our community to honor this distinctive heritage and to always remember to continue to pay homage to the founders, the late Dr. Frederick F. Smith, Edna Carnegie-Baker, and Dr. Charles Twyman.


Their vision is one of collective solidarity toward the common goal of neighborhood beautification that culminates into a yearly celebration through the Elm City Freddy Fixer Parade. Securing our legacy through this consistent, constructive, and harmonious display of our cultural norms, values, and ethics will be the impetus that conveys the story of our history we want to be told for many generations.
