Red, white and blue were everywhere – in the parade, on the vehicles, as decorations and definitely the color of choice for attire.
About 35 vehicles participated in the second annual South Lake Tahoe Fourth of July parade.
Golden Bear Events organized the parade that was dominated by military veterans and city public safety vehicles.
The group of vehicles made their way from the Tahoe Valley Pharmacy to the American Legion at was described as walking pace.
Lots of people lining the parade route were waving U.S. flags. Plenty of horns were honking by people not even participating.
The parade ended at the Legion Hall where festivities continued on.

Congratulations STR–it looks great! Now that’s what I call re-purposing!!
There were forty-one vehicles/floats in the parade, with one SLT motorcycle officer leading, one SLT fire truck in front, and one SLT community service vehicle at the end. There was a Fallen Leaf Fire truck and five vehicles from El Dorado County Search and rescue.
It was dominated by veterans, private business owners, and vehicles from other public safety venues outside of the City of SLT.
Special thanks to Mayor Tom Davis, who volunteered to drive the Post Commander and veteran Blair Clark.
