All are welcome at Independence Day Event

WESTCHESTER – Assemblymember Curren D. Price, Jr will ride as a special guest in the 8th Annual Westchester on Parade 4th of July Celebration, which is hosted by the LAX Coastal Area Chamber of Commerce.

“It is truly important to remember the significance of this day in history as our brave forefathers adopted the Declaration of Independence, and Democracy was born,” began Assemblymember Price, “but also, in these modern days of high speed technology and multi- tasking, I do appreciate being able to take the time to enjoy an American parade with my neighbors.”

The Fourth of July Parade will be held Wednesday, July 4, starting at 11 a.m., and should last about one and a half hours. Parade viewing is available all along Loyola Boulevard, with limited bleacher sitting available. Loyola Marymount University has donated their parking lot for parade spectators, and convenient parking will also be available at Westchester Park and on surrounding streets.

There will be over 50 parade entries including: The Great Pyrenees Alliance of the West, the rip-roaring Harley riding H.O.G.S., Uncle Sam and the Locke High School marching band, and this year’s parade’s Grand Marshal news reporter Elizabeth Espinosa.

Assemblymember Price hopes to see all of his neighbors at the parade.

Assemblymember Curren Price serves the 51st Assembly District, which includes Inglewood, Hawthorne, Gardena, Playa Vista, Westchester, Lawndale, West Athens, Lennox, Alondra Park, West Compton, Del Aire, and Willowbrook, as well as portions of the unincorporated area of Ladera.
