The Gleneden Beach Fourth of July Parade began in 1995 when long-time residents Alyce Thomson and Nellie Jaujou, from the Gleneden Beach Community Club, decided Independence Day needed a bit more fanfare in this normally quiet burg just south of Lincoln City. It has now grown into "The Biggest Little 4th of July Parade on the Oregon Coast!" ~ Newport News-Times.
This event not only honors our nation's 251 years of independence, it also strengthens community bonds, making it a highlight of the summer season!
