SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Decked out in red, white and blue, Californians waved flags and sang patriotic songs at Independence Day parades across the state.
Hundreds lined the streets under bright sunshine Tuesday
for seaside Santa Monica's annual celebration, which featured bands and
classic cars.
California's love affair with the automobile was also
front-and-center at South Pasadena's parade, which had the theme
"Freedom on the Road. Celebrating Route 66."
The parades were among dozens up and down the state this July 4th.
After the sun goes down, the parties will continue with
fireworks displays. Among the largest in the Los Angeles area will be
the annual fanfare at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
To the north, officials are hoping clouds will clear in time for the big display over San Francisco Bay.
