Oceanside CA– Oceanside will begin celebrating Independence Day with the annual Independence Parade on June 27, 2015. Floats, horses, classic cars, marching bands, clowns and more will begin the parade route at 10 a.m. on Coast Highway from Wisconsin Avenue and ending at Civic Center Drive. Parade announcers will be strategically placed at Civic Center and Michigan Avenue.
“It will be a nostalgic and memorable parade experience especially since we declared this year’s parade theme, Legacy and Legends,” says Cathy Nykiel parade committee member. “Our theme was selected to honor those who contribute so much to our community. Come out and be a part of this wonderful event, wave your American flags and represent your group as we honor our Nation, Oceanside, local business and individuals that make up our community.”
