[JSR] The La Crescenta Christmas Parade Brings Many Cultures to Light
As the parade commenced, I realized that there were a lot more people than I expected. Hundreds of people taking part in the parade, all from different organizations representing different things, and hundreds of other people in the crowd watching the parade, all from different backgrounds expecting different things. Our group was situated at the back of the parade, so it took us a while in order to be able to start walking.
To show the diversity of the parade, we were in between a teacher association and a taekwondo demo team. There was a news station broadcasting the whole event, so even people who couldn’t make it could watch and be exposed to different cultures and learn a lot about different people that coexist.
Events like this are fantastic, as they bring many out for a good time and allow them to learn about other cultures. I believe that large community gatherings are essential for citizens to be happier about where they live. I believe that every community should have such a gathering for citizens to socialize and bond. This has been a great learning experience for me and my peers. Not only did I have a lot of fun, I celebrated many different cultures as well. I highly encourage coming out to the next Montrose Christmas parade, as it is exciting for the whole entire family.
