Another “fabulous Fourth” comes to San Juan Island on Independence Day.

The big Friday Harbor Parade theme this year is “The Fabulous Fifties.” Sam Buck is the Grand Marshal.

Multiple prizes for the parade include Best Theme Float, best costumes, and Best 50’s Car. The parade forms up on Price Street before 9:30 a.m. and moves straight down Spring Street toward the waterfront.

As in past years, Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church will provide parade seating and wheelchair spaces for the elderly and special needs people in front of the church at 425 Spring Street, Friday Harbor. Reserve a spot at 378-4544. Islanders for Safe Shipping will be marching against the proposed coal terminal at Cherry Point. The contingent will include 25 informative sign carriers, one large black 32-foot coal ship, two 5-foot scale model ferry boats and one 50-foot oil spill followed by children and adults.
