ABERDEEN, S.D.(Aberdeen American News)- After two years off, the Northern State University Gypsy Day Parade returns when it starts at 9 a.m. Saturday.

The parade begins on North Main Street near Eighth Avenue North and continues south through downtown and to the edge of the Northern State campus on the south side of town.
