The 25th annual La Mesa Flag Day Parade, tracing its beginnings back to 1997, will travel along La Mesa Boulevard on June 8. Beginning at 10 a.m., the parade starts at the intersection of University Avenue and La Mesa Boulevard, proceeding west through The Village to Acacia Avenue led by the United States Maring Corps 3rd Wing Band.
This year’s grand marshal is former city councilmember Ruth Sterling, selected for her “tireless dedication” from spearheading the parade’s committee to establishing the Flag Day Parade Endowment.
Attendees can enjoy complimentary ice cream bars while supplies last at the Civic Center parking lot located at Date Street across from the La Mesa
Police Department. The city encourages attendees to walk or use public transportation to attend this event. The La Mesa Flag Day Parade is sponsored by donations by the community members, EDCO, Pete’s Place, and the La Mesa Village Association.
