July 4, 2024 Melrude Parade

A patriotic parade with people celebrating outdoors on a sunny day. Spectators, many wearing red, white, and blue, line the dirt road, watching small floats and vehicles decorated with American flags pass by. Children and adults are taking photos and enjoying the event, with green trees and a bright sky in the background.
A parade with a crowd of people along the side of a dirt road, some sitting on chairs and others standing. There are small houses and green trees in the background. A horse-drawn wagon decorated with American flags and a go-kart with a blue star pattern are in the parade. The sky is partly cloudy and bright.
