Parade to Kick Off Celebration
Lawndale will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a Youth Day Parade May 13.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Sherman Block will be Grand Marshal for the parade, the first in a series of events celebrating the city’s incorporation in 1959.
Parade participants will assemble at 8:30 a.m. at Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Firmona Avenue, and the parade will begin at 10 a.m.
Shirley Rudolph, parks and recreation commissioner, announced a new parade route for this year: east on Manhattan Beach Boulevard, north on Hawthorne Boulevard, and west on 147th Street to the Civic Center, 14701 S. Burin Ave.
Participants will include Marisol Garcia, this year’s poster child for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation; 4-year-old skateboarding wiz Danny Krammer, and Sheriff’s Sgt. Aaron Williams and Deputy Warren Asmus, who provide safety and gang prevention programs in the Lawndale School District.
