Who doesn't love a parade! The Summerlin Patriotic Parade took place on the morning of July 4th, as is tradition! The event was filled with incredible floats, community spirit, and even a couple Stanley Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights!
Tens of thousands gathered up and down the parade route near Village Center Circle in Summerlin. The Summerlin Council let paradegoers get a head start on claiming their "perfect spot" this year. Tents, blankets and chairs were set up early Monday morning and it was competitive!
How did the Summerlin Patriotic Parade get started?
It all got started humbly in 1995. Summerlin was just in its infancy as a community and the parade was born. Nearly 30 years later, and massive balloons soar through the sky up and down the route. An American eagle larger than life flies low to avoid street poles and traffic lights. Floats range from the modest to the incredible, with dancers, singers, storybook characters and even Jedi masters showing off their skills.
Perhaps one of the most impressive floats this year was the Indiana Jones float. While the reboot of the movie is falling short of expectations, this float certainly did not. The theming was excellent and the ominous boulder rolling behind Indy. This float blew our socks off!
Of course there are old favorites as well. Danza Del Carrizo de Ciudad Juarez was in the parade once again this year with an incredible endurance. We saw them at the end of the route and we do not know how they do it in this weather! Our favorite member? The youngest one who took to the parade route until the very end.
If you have never been to the parade, maybe make it a point to go next year! Many people like to say "Las Vegas is missing community"... but you will find it here!
