WWOR Set to Cover Celebrate Israel Parade Sunday

It’s an annual tradition marching up Fifth Avenue. The Salute to Israel (now called Celebrate Israel) Parade on Sunday marks the nation’s 63rd year of independence.

WWOR/Channel 9 will cover the festivities from noon to 2 p.m. led by sister station WNYW/Channel 5 anchor John Huddy as the host. He’ll be joined by MTV Europe VJ Becky Griffin, who will interview guests and those in attendance.

The broadcast features 30,000 marchers from 160 participating organizations, 40 bands and floats, and notable Israeli and American talent.

The parade’s website says hundreds of thousands of spectators are expected to line the streets.
