4th of July Fun in Carmichael-Note from Susan Peters


Dear Friends,
This year there will be two local parades held on Independence Day, the Fourth of July.  Enjoy the celebration by either viewing the fun as a spectator or joining in as a parade participant. 
Arden Arcade’s 12th annual parade will start at 10:30 a.m. beginning at the Sacramento County Building, 2700 Fulton Avenue.  The route goes south past El Camino Avenue and turns on Cottage Way continuing west to Bell Street where it will turn north and finish at Howe Park.   Afterwards there will be food, fun and family activities at the park.  The Fulton-El Camino Recreation and Park District is coordinating the event.  For more information and an entry form, please visit the Fulton-El Camino Recreation and Park District’s website. 
Carmichael’s celebration kick-offs with a pancake breakfast sponsored by the Kiwanis Club from 7 to 11 a.m. at Carmichael Park followed by the 55th Annual Elks Club Parade on Fair Oaks Boulevard starting at 10:30 a.m. at Marconi Avenue and continuing to Manzanita and Cypress Avenues. The parade features floats, antique automobiles, marching bands, equestrian entries, and much more.   And fireworks will later light up the evening sky over Carmichael at the La Sierra Community Center,5325 Engle Road.  The first sky rocket is expected to go off at approximately 9:30 p.m. but before the big show you can enjoy plenty of free activities starting at 7 p.m.  To learn more about all the Carmichael fun, including parade entry information, please visit the Carmichael Recreation and Park District’s website. 
Happy Fourth of July!
