(L-R) Grayson Keenan, David Keenan, Jiya Rao, Mifay Liu, Julie Oliver, Duncan Oliver and Andy Radlow. David Keenan: “My favorite thing is the passion and dedication that the Orinda community pulls together each year to make our parade a success.” Julie Oliver: “My son Duncan and I are part of Boys Team Charity - Orinda. Our League has many volunteers at the parade each year and for many other Orinda community events/organizations. This was our second year helping with the parade set up and take down. All the BTC members we volunteered with said they had a great time and would be back next year! My favorite thing about the Orinda 4th of July parade is the opportunity to see all the people! I cannot think of another event where the whole town comes out, people of all ages, all neighborhoods. What fun!”
Claire Roth (L) and Pat Winther (R). Winther: “I love watching the children enjoying the parade. The children just loved it. It’s nice to see there’s such a variety in the parade.”
Jay Ward: “My favorite thing about the Orinda 4th of July Parade is that it's somehow managed to keep its small town feeling and charm after all these years. In the Bay Area, there aren't many parade events quite like ours, so I really appreciate the support our city gives it.”
