10:00 a.m: The Parade Starts

Filled with fanfare, sixty parade units and over twelve-hundred participants begin the march from Denbigh High School and skip and flip their way to the festival grounds at Courthouse Way Community Center. The parade includes a variety of cheerful marching bands from area high schools, decked-out vehicles, decorated floats, dance teams and little leaguers, to name a few.

This year’s Denbigh Day will also include an open house from The Hugh S. Watson, Jr., Genealogical Society of Tidewater. 10am – 3pm.

The Hugh S. Watson, Jr., Genealogical Society of Tidewater, Virginia (The Tidewater Genealogical Society or TGS) was organized in 1969 by a small group of students taking a genealogical class from Mrs. Virginia H. Rollings at Thomas Nelson Community College (now Peninsula Community College). The society is named for Hugh Watson, who published a weekly genealogical feature for local newspapers from 1935 to 1988. The Society operates out of Old 1884 Warwick County Courthouse in the Denbigh area of Newport News, where we maintain a library of more than 2,500 books and hundreds of journals, along with manuscript collection of local interest.
