We don't really have a big parade in Altadena since the death of Old Fashioned Days — but around the July 4, many neighborhoods have smaller parades to celebrate the holiday.
If your neighborhood is planning a small march, let us know! We'll try to cover as many of these as we can! So far, in newsgroup chatter, the folks around the President Streets neighborhood are planning one, starting at 10 AM at the corner of Glen Canyon and Pepper Dr. We've seen 'em on Solana and Boston as well in the past. Let us know so we can let everyone know!

So that the record is correct, it is the Pepper Drive July 4th parade. The parade was created by Pepper Drive neighbors in the early 50’s but died out when their children grew up. As those original folks moved away, the new home owners restarted the parade in 1974, +- a few years, and it has been ongoing ever since. Folks gather at Pepper and Glen Canyon at 0945 and the parade begins at 1000.
