Red White and Bloom!
One of Modesto’s greatest summer traditions is coming soon; the grand and glorious 4th of July. The streets of downtown Modesto are filled with festivities as the 151st Annual 4th of July Parade takes to the streets as thousands line the parade route in their favorite spots along 10th, J, 11th, & I Streets. Since 1874, this has been a fun family Modesto tradition. Many of your favorite local restaurants will be open for this event and the reviewing stand is in front of the courthouse and the parade will be celebrating the hard work of the Modesto Garden Club as they celebrate 100 years of serving Modesto.
I don’t know about you, but we need more floats! Do you have an organization or company you want to promote? Build a float and enter the parade. Don’t want to enter, but want to volunteer to help? That’s great too. KAT Country’s DJ Walker and I will be out there announcing and we will be happy to shout out to your float. Deadline to sign up is June 26.
