Laguna Beach Garden Club

Cancelled: Patriots’ Day Parade
2019-03-02 10:00 - 13:00 UTC | Parking Lot opposite Laguna Beach High School, 625 Park Ave, Laguna Beach, CA, 92651
Event cancelled due to anticipated rain!
Calling all members! Come have a great time marching in the City’s annual Patriots’ Day Parade. Our garden club has participated for over 40 years and won many awards, including three 1st Place trophies. You can carry our banners or signs, dance with the “Rakettes,” hand out Gate & Garden Tour postcards or simply march.
Have fun, support the community and help raise awareness of our club and what we do. It’s a wonderful event with 80+ groups marching; half the city is in the parade and the other half is watching!
We will assemble at 10 am in the parking lot opposite Laguna Beach High School, 625 Park Ave. The parade starts at 11 am, the downhill route is one mile through downtown Laguna Beach, and we will finish at about 1 pm.
If you’d like to march with us, please contact Diane. It’s a memorable experience and enjoyable time!
