The Mayor’s Christmas Parade celebrated its 50th year in Baltimore on Sunday, with marching bands, flag twirlers, local officials, giant inflatable figures, skating tricks, and more.
Residents gathered along the streets of Hampden and Medfield to watch the parade procession stroll by, and collect some candy from parade participants.
