Coronado kicks off the Independence Day weekend with an annual parade
Colon Road-After the annual Coronado Independence Day parade was cut during the worst of the pandemic last year, it returned to Orange Avenue in a roaring manner on Saturday.
“It’s really a time for everyone to come together. It’s a time to heal and a time to regain our previous lives, but even better,” said parade audience Laura Wilkinson.
Organizers said that the number of people participating in the parade this year hit a record high.
“We actually have 109 entries, more than in 2018 and 2019,” said Todd Tanghe, president of the non-profit organization Coronado on July 4.
