"The Grandest Parade in San Bernardino's History"

May 21, 2010
The bicentennial of the City of San Bernardino is something worth celebrating and the city is going all out. On last Thursday, a new historic market was placed on the corner of I Street and Inland Center Drive next to the centennial marker. While it may be difficult to believe that the city was actually founded in 1810, the activities of the bicentennial celebration will definitely highlight the history of San Bernardino.
Tomorrow, May 22, you will have the opportunity to attend the "grandest parade" in the history of San Bernardino. At 4 p.m. from Seventh and E streets to Meadowbrook Park, there will be floats, bands, antique cars, horse drawn vehicles and history re-enactors in full regalia. There are more than 80 entries which is a really large parade. (The Rose Parade usually has only 90 entries.)
In 1810 for the city's centennial celebration, there was a parade as part of a five day celebration.
At that time, there was a Floral Parade, a Livestock Parade, an Automobile parade and an Industrial Parade.
Prior to the parade there will be from non to 9 p.m. there will be a festival at Meadowbrook Park, Third Street and Mt. View Avenue.
