Who's Marching in the Fourth of July Parade?

Classic cars, Rose Princesses, Miss Armed Forces 2012 and local celebrities from the San Gabriel Valley will march in Sierra Madre's Fourth of July Parade.

Sierra Madre’s annual Fourth of July parade is just around the corner, with a total of 64 different entries expected to march along Sierra Madre Blvd.

Classic cars from the 1930s to the 1960s, notable Sierra Madre citizens both young and old, war vets and other local heroes will be among those marching. Residents who are not in the parade can gather along Sierra Madre Blvd. to watch the spectacle and, of course, try to catch the airborne candy marchers throw.

The parade starts at 10 a.m. on July 4th.
