The American Spirit: Enduring Optimism
“We have a number of exciting community projects in the works for this year, but the parade always tops the list for enthusiasm from the community,” says Paul Lamberton, president of Spirit of `76. “We were happy to see so many people get involved in helping us decide on this year’s theme.”
The announcement of the theme gives participants in the parade some structure to help them prepare their presentation. “Each and every American is born into Liberty,” Lamberton continues. “It is the duty of each of us to respect the liberty of others and to work to preserve our own, just as it was two hundred and thirty-four years ago. Working together toward this common cause, we can be optimistic for our future and that of our children.”
The parade will take place on Sunday July 4, 2010.
The grand march begins at 1:00 p.m. at Micheltorena Street and proceeds down State Street to Old Town Santa Barbara, concluding at Cota Street.
