Winners in 2022 Urbanna Oyster Festival Parade listed

For many, the highlight of Saturday’s 65th Urbanna Oyster Festival Parade was seeing and hearing the lively performance of the Aqua String Band. The group, a regular in the annual Philadelphia Mummers New Year’s Day Parade, wowed the thousands lining this stretch of Virginia Street and the rest of the parade route. They wore breathtaking, one-of-a-kind costumes while playing banjos, saxophones, accordions and percussion. More festival photos, pages B4, 6 and 7. (Photo by Don Richeson)
