'A lot of the feedback that we got was that it felt like the old days everybody hopping from bar to bar,' said Dave Tamulonis, events and marketing manager for the Erie Downtown Partnership. 'It's about bringing folks downtown getting them to visit the businesses getting them to stick around and have a dinner at a restaurant maybe shop at some of the retail shops so the economic impact of an event like the parade is felt throughout the weekend.'
Tamulonis thanked the community for their support and said they hope to continue making this a great event for Erie.
