Half Moon Bay was alive with small town spirit on Sunday at the 50th annual âOl' Fashioned Fourth of Julyâ parade and festival.
A steady stream of visitors and locals alike poured into the townâs Main Street to enjoy an event billed as the Coastside Rising âSo Happy Together.â
âWe love the community here and the small-town feel,â said Leonie Wohl who came from Burlingame for the parade.
The festival marked a return to normalcy as large outdoor gatherings are now permitted under San Mateo County and state guidelines. With last yearâs celebration canceled due to the pandemic, organizers aimed to highlight newfound optimism and hope at the gathering.
