MONTAUK, NY— A fourth "MAGA-Gras" Trump Parade will take place Sunday, heading to Montauk from Seaford.

According to Shawn Farash, 29, of West Babylon, who organized three prior caravans, including a Trump parade on the North Fork, an event that drew crowds of supporters, and a parade that brought food to needy communities and headed to New York City, the fourth "MAGA-Gras Trump Parade" will unfold Sunday "all the way to the end of Long Island. We are going to Montauk."

Participants will meet at the Long Island Rail Road station in Seaford at 9 a.m. and depart the lot by 10 a.m., Farash said. The procession will head east on Route 27 to Montauk.

"We will once again be collecting food for a food drive," Farash said. "Our combined donation was 'yuge', so we're going to do it all over again, this time for communities here on Long Island. Non-perishable, boxed, canned, and baby food are ideal," he said.

Once in Montauk, those attending can enjoy the area in smaller groups, Farash said.

"As always we will remain peaceful and respectful even when faced with potential counter-protesters," he said.

"The 'Long Island Loud Majority' is here, and is here to stay. After New York City, we are known in other states, as well as other countries," Farash said. "Although POTUS will likely be recovered by then, we must still remember: We are the campaign. That doesn't change. It never will. One team. One goal. Four more years. TRUMP 2020."

The first "MAGA-Gras" event took place in September, with parade participants heading from Copiague to Shirley.

In recent weeks, other events have been held on the East End in support of Trump, including a 'TrumpStock' boat parade, a fishermen's parade in support of Trump and law enforcement, and a "Back the Blue" event meant to thank law enforcement and the military.
