F-15 fighter jet flies over Siskiyou Boulevard to signal the start of the parade

Houses and people along the parade route all decked out in their patriotic red, white, and blue

At times the 4th of July parade looked more like the Halloween parade

Having a party while watching the parade--I want to sit with these people next year

The evening wrapped up with fireworks fired off from Iowa Street near the SOU softball fields
