Piedmont’s 50th Annual 4th of July Parade
Photos of the parade –
Piedmont’s annual celebration of July 4 started early with the Recreation Department’s Pancake Breakfast in the Veterans’ Hall, beginning at 8 a.m. By 10 a.m. most marchers had arrived and the empty chairs that had lined sidewalks along the parade route for several days were soon occupied.
Floats were created by: Havens 2nd Grade, San Carlos Avenue Neighborhood, Ramona-Ronada Neighborhood Kids, Bellevue & See View Neighborhood, and Friends & Neighbors of July 4th
Current School Board members and Council members rode in cars, and nine former Mayors walked together in a group. The Piedmont Community Band volunteers, after only one rehearsal, had prepared a significant repertoire for its march down Highland Avenue.
