Album: Fourth of July 2009

San Juan Island National Historical Park

The Fourth of July parade in Friday Harbor, Washington, aside from the county fair, is the biggest event of the year, attracting thousands from throughout the Puget Sound and Northern Straits regions. The park's 1860s Color Guard, composed of park staff and volunteers, is usually at the head of the parade behind the American Legion and draws some of the biggest cheers of the day.
