The parade no longer goes down first st for whoever wants to know. It goes down cesar chavez only. i do not know why. probably way less walking haha. The old route was starting at the mercado on first turns on rowan Ave then turn right on cesar cahvez truly a beatiful sight
Thanks for the info, I moved away from LA in the mid 90s, and when I returned, I found many things had changed. The parade is very different now; almost no marching bands (Garfield, Rosevelt and other local schools no longer present), less commercial entries, and more community based organizations. They parade by Mexican states now. I miss the old parade, and the festival at the park at the end was bigger. Now, there are many Mexican Independence fests, and they all feel smaller.
Yeah man it Sucks the first time i went there i was 4 years old. Hot as hell i had a spot in front of the first street store(since closed) back then they had GHS and RHs bands and cheerleaders and they could give any Hs a run for their money. Not its radio stations politicians. Yeah not too many attendees either. Theres a festival on whittier i tihnk you should check out its gonna be an anunual festival
