Former councilmember, now Mayor Eric Garcetti,…

annual Yuba City Sikh Parade. While at the event I learned the reason behind the parade, it commemorates the Guru Gaddee inauguration holiday of Sikhism's holy scripture, Siri Guru Granth Sahib. This was a huge event I didn’t know what to expect; however once I got to the parade I was shocked. There were thousands of people attending predominantly people of the Sikh religion however many were outside the race and religion. I went by myself to the event, when I first got the parade I was a little…

night. Last night was a tough go for us backups. It should have been a magical night, a sad night, anything but a dangerous night. This is how it went. October 9, 2016, a night to remember. This was the final run of Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade in Walt Disney World. My family was making a big thing of this event. We got a discounted room at the Contemporary way in advance, simply because of the school break. Now that this was happening, my mom, dad, little sisters, and I were uber…

As the drums grow louder, a sense of patriotism is felt in the air. It’s a good day to remember those who once fought for our country; a good day for a parade.

participant observation assignment, I chose to investigate the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in San Francisco. This year’s procession was held accordingly in the city’s famous Mission district on the twelfth of March. As I have attended in years past and am familiar with the humbug of the day, I anticipated an even grander turnout in honor of the big year. I chose to examine the festivities because in my years attending the parade I have been always been skeptical of the motives of the attendees…

The homecoming parade this year has been cancelled this year and moved to a later date due to hurricane Joaquin, leaving many HHS students disappointed.

The student council representatives worked long in hard to impress their peers on the floats being shown in the parade. In this night after the parade, homecoming king and queen are crowned, and…
