    §  14.  Processions  and  parades  on  Sunday.  1. All processions and
  parades on Sunday in any city, excepting only  funeral  processions  for
  the  actual  burial  of the dead, and processions to and from a place of
  worship in connection with a religious  service  there  celebrated,  are
  forbidden;  and  in  such  excepted  cases  there  shall  be  no  music,
  fireworks, discharge of cannon or firearms, or other  disturbing  noise.
  At  a  military  funeral,  or at the funeral of a United States soldier,
  sailor or marine, or of a national guardsman, or of a deceased member of
  an association  of  veteran  soldiers,  sailors  or  marines,  or  of  a
  disbanded  militia  regiment, or of a secret fraternal society, or of an
  association  of  employees  of  the  national,   state,   or   municipal
  governments,  music  may  be  played  while  escorting the body; also in
  patriotic military processions on Sunday  previous  to  Decoration  day,
  known  as  memorial Sunday, to cemeteries or other places where memorial
  services are held, and also by organizations of the  national  guard  or
  naval  militia or of an association of employees of the national, state,
  or municipal governments, attending religious service on Sunday; but  in
  no  case  within  one  block of a place of worship where service is then
  being celebrated. Music may also be played in any  procession  conducted
  by  a  religious  organization or society in connection with a religious
  service or religious rally after one o'clock noon on Sunday.
    2. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, it shall be  lawful
  to conduct, witness, participate or engage in processions or parades and
  to  play  music  in  any  such  procession or parade on Sunday after two
  o'clock in the afternoon, in a  city,  town  or  village,  as  shall  be
  permitted by a local law or ordinance heretofore or hereafter adopted by
  the  common council or other legislative body of a city, town or village
  permitting such processions and parades on such day and after such hour.
    3. This section shall not apply to a city with  a  population  of  one
  million  or  more;  provided, however, that if a parade or procession is
  held in such city on Sunday before two o'clock in  the  afternoon  there
  shall  be no music, fireworks, discharge of cannon or firearms, or other
  disturbing noise in relation thereto within one hundred and  fifty  feet
  of a place of worship.
    4.  A  person  wilfully  violating  any  provision  of this section is
  punishable by a fine not exceeding twenty dollars  or  imprisonment  not
  exceeding ten days, or by both.
