The 2013 Jersey City Columbus Day Parade steps off at 1 tomorrow afternoon at Sixth Street and Newark Avenue. The parade will proceed east along Newark to Jersey Avenue, then south to City Hall, 280 Grove St. This year's event, sponsored by the Dante Alighieri Society, marks the fifth year the Columbus Day Parade will take place in one of Jersey City's most established Italian-American neighborhoods, which includes Holy Rosary Church, the oldest Italian parish in New Jersey.
