Fourth of July kids parade is today in downtown Cd'A

COEUR d’ALENE — Kids, don’t miss the chance to march in a Fourth of July Parade just for you.

Parents, get the costumes ready, and don’t forget to bring the dog.

The annual Fourth of July Kiddie Parade kicks off this morning at 10 at the corner of 10th Street and Sherman Avenue.

This year’s theme is for anything that wheels, floats, boats or is in a costume to help celebrate Independence Day a little early. Preregistration isn’t required, so marchers or strollers who want to take part should show up at the intersection around 9:30.

Dogs are welcome too.

The parade will go down Sherman Avenue — just like Sunday’s main attraction — before ending at Independence Point.
