CRESWELL — It started with a thunderous sound that reverberated through the air as thousands poured into the streets of Creswell for the annual Fourth of July parade.

Following the explosive kick off at 11 a.m. were marching local organizations, departments, school bands and cheerleaders, loggers, vintage cars, water squirters, candy tossers and bubble blowers.

As well as the fun surprises and goodies for kids, the parade also featured educational and historical floats, along with community organizations that locals can get involved with.

“This is our first year watching the parade,” he said. “I thought it was fantastic. The community turnout was amazing. The participants were amazing. But most of all, the classic cars and the value of historical things here were beautiful. Creswell really values history and keeps it relevant. The community aspect is also really inviting and I like the ‘main street town’ vibe right off of I-5.”
