Fourth of July Celebrations in Corrales and Placitas

Corrales

The annual Corrales July Fourth parade in typical fashion, was more than a parade, it was the village’s largest event of the year. Attracting thousands of visitors along Corrales Road, this year’s parade and events for the Fourth attracted dozens of floats.

The parade featured horses, marching bands, antique cars, tractors and more. The wet section of the parade allowed spectators and parade participants to cool off and get sprayed with water while they cheered on those marching down Corrales Road.

Photographer Roberto E. Rosales captured the highlights.

Placitas

Placitas’ annual Fourth of July parade is a more relaxed affair, attracting several dozen viewers from the Placitas area and at least a dozen floats.

Community members attended the parade and shared their photos with the Signpost.
