Floats, firetrucks, music, and fun will surely be crowd-pleasers as friends and neighbors line the streets to jaw while children run for chucked candy.
Parade entrants, get those hands waiving! Vaseline those teeth because smiling will be contagious as we celebrate the birth of our country.
Temps are going to be in the 90’s. Hats, sunscreen, sunglasses and clown suits and flat shovels are recommended.
At 10 p.m., night's dark fingers will explode with fireworks illuminating the sky at Marina Beach and Marina Park in the evening. Smoky tracers and popping sparkles are loaded to astound. Spectators are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy the local dining and parks while waiting for the show. Event site rules and specific closures will be in effect to ensure a safe and enjoyable celebration for all.
