Get Out! You Can Watch the 59th Annual Palisades 4th of July Parade....Or You Can March!

 by Peggy Robin

 
I've said it before, but it bears repeating: Palisades 4th of July Parade is the best little parade in town. (Best little parade just outside of town? That would be in Takoma Park, MD)
 
You can watch from a shaded hillside or you can join in and march. This is the parade that will make you think you're in one of those mythical Hollywood movie musical small towns, where everyone's friendly and they could all burst into an intricately well-choreographed song & dance number at any moment. 
 
Plus, there's free candy and free lunch!
 
What more could you ask?!
