Pecan Plantation residents will have an opportunity to celebrate Independence Day in patriotic fashion during the community's annual Fourth of July Parade on Saturday, July 4.
This year's parade carries special significance as Americans commemorate the 250th anniversary of the nation's founding.
Participants will begin lining up at the Nutcracker parking lot at 4 p.m., with the parade scheduled to step off at 5 p.m. The route will travel down Wedgefield, around the back circle and continue to the clubhouse, where additional festivities are planned.
Organizers are planning a special tribute to military veterans representing all branches of the armed forces. Veterans will be invited to ride in designated vehicles near the front of the parade, immediately behind Pecan Plantation's first responders.
Residents are encouraged to participate by decorating golf carts, bicycles, classic cars, horses, floats and other vehicles in patriotic themes. Veterans are encouraged to wear apparel representing their branch of service or decorate vehicles in tribute to their military service. Residents who wish to honor the memory of a deceased veteran are also invited to participate in the tribute.
There is no cost to participate and no registration is required. Participants simply need to arrive at the Nutcracker parking lot at 4 p.m. start and join the lineup. The parade will conclude at the clubhouse, where additional activities and celebrations are planned. Spectators are encouraged to line the route and join neighbors for one of Pecan Plantation's most popular Independence Day traditions.
