I hope you've already taken note of the two prior messages on the Listserv about the annual Fourth of July Parade in Palisades, DC. Message #215356 on July 2 has all the details of the march and the picnic afterward for those who'd like to come and watch. Message #215371 on July 3 is for anyone who's up for joining the parade. Mayor Bowser has invited you to join her contingent.
The Palisades Community Association Presents:
The 58th 4th of July Parade & Picnic 2024
Thursday, July 4
Parade at 11:00am | Picnic at 12:00pm
Parade starts at 11am at Whitehaven & MacArthur Blvd, heads northbound on MacArthur, left on Edmonds, left on Sherier, and ends at Palisades Park.
Here are a few pix from previous years:
Though I'm a regular at the Palisades Parade (I like staying within Ward 3), I thought I'd give a shout-out to another fun community parade for anyone who's up for going just a bit farther afield:
