Littlerock Saloon Parade
The owners of the Littlerock Saloon in Olympia moved from Los Angeles 6 years ago, when they purchased the bar. There was a parade in Sierra Madre and the couple missed it, so they decided to put out a sign-up sheet for their own parade right outside their saloon. They had no idea it would get so big! Anyone is invited to join in the parade and there are lots of animals – horses, goats, dogs, etc. They do ask that you don’t ride loud bikes in the parade, so as not to scare the animals. You can also just come and watch if you are not interested in participating.
The parade starts at 6:00 p.m. For more information, stop by the bar or visit the Littlerock Saloon Facebook page.
