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.
