The celebration will include a 125-unit parade and a band review, carnival, vendors, entertainment and a community dinner, said Ron Kenny, director of Parks and Recreation.

The theme of this year’s parade, which will honor fire departments, is “Firefighters: Faithful and Fearless.”

The La Palma Intercommunity Hospital Bed Races will precede the parade from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. Teams of runners will push 150-pound hospital beds in a fund-raising event for La Palma Intercommunity Hospital Foundation.
