he Mamaroneck Village Fire Department holds an annual firefighter carnival and parade to which fire companies throughout the region are invited. Hilighting this event is a parade where firefighters and apparatus go on display for the public to view and to be judged for design, cleanliness, and organization.

The competition at this event can be fierce. It is an uncommon honor for a department to win this many awards at a single event. Darien FD has won “Best of Everything” at this parade for four of the past five years.
