Victorville Daily Press
Americana and normalcy are expected to be on full display in September when the Hesperia Days Parade and Celebration returns after the coronavirus pandemic canceled last year’s festivities.
This year will mark the 72nd edition of the event that first began in 1948 when 13-year-old Lillian (Stratton) Platt, wore the crown as the first Miss Hesperia and rodeo queen.
Hesperia Recreation and Park District General Manager Nicolas Chavez, who was hired in July 2020 and missed out on his first Hesperia Days experience, said the popular two-day event is slated to begin Sept. 18 with a full day of activities.
