The parade began as usual with the parade of lowrider cars. Two lanes of cars driving in parallel along Mission Street.

Many groups danced their way along Mission Street to the delight of the folks watching from the sidewalks.

Some bands played from the back of floats. Others carried their instruments and played while walking the parade route.

This was not a float-heavy parade. But of the floats present, many were spectacular.

Many women and men dressed in feathers and other costumes to best display themselves as they walked or danced the parade.
