Fireworks are not for everyone. They're loud, usually start pretty late, and are almost always overcrowded. So this 4th of July why not opt for something different? This year the Valley Village Homeowners Association and Neighborhood Council are putting on two wonderful events: a 4th of July Community Pancake Breakfast and, afterward, an Independence Day Parade! The parade will end at Valley Village Park where food and drinks will be provided. The 4th of July is all about community, so why not spend the day with your friends, family, and neighbors!
 
     The Community Pancake Breakfast will be held at the Faith Presbyterian Church (all are welcome) from 8:00 am to 9:45 am. Then you can head straight over to Colfax Elementary School where the parade will begin at 10:00 am! From there, you can follow the parade to Valley Village Park. The best part? If you do enjoy fireworks, you will have plenty of time to get to your favorite display! More information about the events can be found on the Breakfast webpage and the Parade webpage. All locations are less than a twenty-minute drive from the Riverside Villa Apartments. Happy Independence Day!
