Recapture Nostalgic Childhood Memories at the 59th Annual Palos Verdes Independence Day July 4th Celebration! By Writer and Contributor NJ Jaeger
Remember a simpler time when summer days seemed to last forever and bands played music in the park? Remember that big picnic basket full of Mom’s special fried chicken, potato salad and fruit pie? Remember how you and Dad won the sack race in family games and decorated your bike in red, white and blue for the bike parade? We hope you do and that you will share these well loved traditions with your own children this July 4th!
All activities take place on the playing fields of Malaga Cove School, 300 Paseo Del Mar, Palos Verdes Estates.
