Contrary to popular belief, the band was actually named after a popular cigarette, not the Jersey Shore town

Avalon did not take part in the 1982 Philadelphia Mummers Parade and was reorganized on March 23, that same year

In 1993, the band traveled to Washington D.C. to participate in the Presidential Inauguration Parade

The band has had made several global appearances, making stops in Ireland and Italy

In 2018, the band was featured on Fox Good Day, and Comcast SportsNet

Remember that suit Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce wore during his epic Super Bowl speech? That was a part of Avalon's 2008 theme entiled "Ire-land of Leprechauns"​​​​
