La De Da Parade

The start of the world-famous La De Da Parade in Yachats.  Every 4th of July the parade marches through the small seaside town.  I think that the town probably alternates years when which half of the town appears in the parade.  Otherwise there wouldn’t be anyone on the side of the road to watch everyone march by!
