Description
The Parade of Horribles and Antiques was one of many events held on July 5, 1920 the last day of the Maine Centennial (June 26-July 5). Marchers carried antiques, or dressed in outlandish costumes.
Other activities on this last day were a military and naval parade, fireworks at Brighton Avenue Field and sporting competitions between crews of visiting warships.
