PAPA is proud to announce the lineup of events for this year’s Fourth of July Celebration.

64th Annual Pacific Palisades Fourth of July Parade
The highlight of every July Fourth is the Pacific Palisades parade, which has grown to be one of the top Independence Day parades in the entire U.S.A. Come join your neighbors and enjoy the best bands and equestrian units in the country, marching along side our very own community groups, local celebrities, neighbors and kids.  Our 2012 Parade Grand Marshal is Jerry Mathers!

A portion of concert proceeds will benefit the Palisades H.S. music program.
