July 4th Independence Day Parade in Gilroy
I had a wonderful time at Morgan Hill's Fourth of July Parade. Morgan Hill remains one of very few cities in the San Francisco Bay Area that continues to have all-day events on the Fourth of July. This parade is the oldest (1894) and the largest privately organized parade in all of Northern California! This is the official Santa Clara County 4th of July Parade. The route is Monterey & 4th to Main to Peak to Dunne & back to Monterey Street. Check out their hometown website. http://www.morganhillguide.com/Webpages/Events/index.htm
