Ashland 4th of July Parade Route

The ABC parade entry usually waits to enter the parade on Siskiyou Boulevard.
ABCers often load up on the trucks in front of Ashland High School.
The parade route itself begins in front of Triangle Park.
Spectators fill the median with blankets and folding chairs.
Businesses and rooftops are crowded with parade-watchers.
Downtown Ashland is filled with the spirit of small-town patriotism.
The parade route ends with a turn onto Water Street and passage under the bridge.
Even the back route to the university is filled with Americana.
The trucks return to the music building via Mountain Avenue...
...with a brief stop at the AHS stadium to drop off percussion equipment (we used to have to drop off chairs as well).
