The Salute to America Independence Day Parade kicked off down Market Street. Vibrant costumes, marching bands and cultural groups put on a show for families lining the parade route who were thankful it’s back this year.“It’s one of those nice breaths of fresh air. Because things are kind of getting back to normal. Everybody’s not wearing masks anymore,” Evan Thomas said.Another family stumbled upon the parade route while visiting from Indiana.
“This is always the exciting moment when you put the final touches on it and you make sure everything is very presentable and beautiful for the parade audience. And a lot of Stapling, and drilling, and fluffing, all kinds of things, flowers and trees,” Parade Choreographer Todd Marcocci said.
