LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Lower Lake was in a festive mood on Sunday as it hosted its annual Lower Lake Daze parade and barbecue.
It’s been nine months since the town was ravaged by the Clayton fire, but the Memorial Day weekend celebration was further sign of the community’s determination to rebuild and reclaim its unique – and resilient – character.
The colorful and entertaining parade through town included everything from horses, antique autos and tractors to a mariachi band, Lower Lake High student athletes and the school marching band, and Lake County Fire Protection District’s popular antique engine that shot water into the crowd lining the route, among many other parade participants.
Sheriff Brian Martin and his deputies were on hand to help lead the parade through town, along with numerous fire units from Lake County Fire
Afterward, events moved to Russell Rustici County Park for the barbecue and an afternoon of activities.
The full parade can be seen in the video above.
