Sierra Madre 4th of July

Click here for coverage of 2012

The Fourth of July in Sierra Madre is a very big deal. They say “Half the town marches in the parade, the other half is watching.” People come from all over the southland for the festivities, and when the 4th falls on a weekend, it’s eeeextry goooood.  Concerts in the park, movies in the park, antique calliope shows (some years), food and beverage booths in the park (including the traditional beer garden) and so much more. Make your plans to join us this year. But celebrations don’t come without a lot of hard work. Kudos to the 4th of July committee for their hard work…

To contribute to help pay for these events, send a check made out to Sierra Madre Community Foundation, naming the 4th of July Committee in the memo section of the check, to:

    Great parade, Sierra Madre! I’m visiting the states and had the pleasure of joining your fun run and witnessing the 4th of July Parade. I’m sharing some of them on my flickr page if anyone would like to see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lila75/sets/72157630441767400/with/7511219786/
