Southold 4th of July Parade 2018

Southold Town 4th of July parade is such a special day. Local community groups march and children dressed in ethnic costumes wave from the Historical Society's float. It is a feel good day. People arrive early with their lawn chairs and water bottles. Volunteers hand out red, white and blue balloons and flags for a donation. Everyone is smiling and in a good mood. It sets the tone for the glorious fourth. My grandchildren have been looking forward to attending for a few years now.
This year we had Betsy Ross and a patriotic boy. Other years we had pioneer girls and Lady Liberty. Another year an Irish lass graced the float.
