A patriotic tradition since 1892
(Oceanside, CA) MainStreet Oceanside, a non-profit group founded in 2000, has again decided to donate nearly 5000 American flags to Oceanside’s Independence Day Parade.
The Annual Oceanside Independence Day Parade will occur on Saturday, June 24th. The downtown Oceanside parade will take place, as usual, on Coast Highway from Wisconsin Avenue to Civic Center Drive. The event kicks off at 10:00 a.m. and ends at noon with more than 100 parade entries expected to march, roll, walk and drive down the famous 101 Coast Highway.
Executive Director, Rick Wright said, “We loved having all the flags given to our community.” The Parade Committee agreed and feel that they should continue this each year.
The “Made-In-USA” premium cloth 4×6 and 8×12 flags will be handed out by MainStreet Oceanside parade volunteers to parade watchers and those participating in the patriotic event.
“All these flags definitely engage people with the parade and stands by the theme of the parade”, states Parade Committee and Volunteer, Chris Gow, who remembers most fondly the small children along the parade route waving those flags with huge smiles.
MainStreet Oceanside, the parade organization, is accepting volunteers for the Independence Day Parade. To assist with the parade, online applications are on the website http://OceansideParade.com/.
