PARADE ROUTE
The
parade route is a little more than 4 miles; last year it took about 1 ½ or 2
hours to march. There will be a Duck
Boat and trolley available for those unable to walk the distance of the
parade. We will assemble on “D” Street
and West Broadway (look for white “Veterans For Peace” flags).
