Parade Fun in Rancho Santa Fe

 Small town barbeque and patriotic fun mark the annual Rancho Santa Fe July 4^th Parade and Picnic!   Sunday, July 4^th, beginning at 12:30 p.m., red white and blue themed residents line Paseo Delicias readying themselves for the arrival of the decorated community-built Rancho Santa Fe float.  Horses, bicycles, golf carts, and children all parade through the streets of Rancho Santa Fe cheering and waving flags in time to a lively band.  

Visitors are welcome to join in the fun and watch and shout hooray to encourage the patriotic display.  The actual parade starts at 1 p.m., but seating can be difficult, so get there early.  Be sure to wear sunscreen and bring sunglasses or a hat as it can get quite hot.   Afterwards the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and Golf Club sponsors an All-American picnic and the Coastal Communities Concert Band performs at 1:30 p.m.to continue the community fun.  More information can be found at http://www.rsfcc.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=109920&orgId=rsfcc .
