PALM SPRINGS (CNS) – Palm Springs’ parade season kicked off Wednesday with the Homecoming Parade, featuring a “Viva Las Vegas” theme.

Wednesday’s parade, which included the Palm Springs High School football team and marching band, began at 3:30 p.m. Attendees were able to watch the floats passing along Palm Canyon Drive from Barsito to Amado roads.

The football team’s annual homecoming game will be at 7 p.m. Friday in the school’s Ralph Watt Stadium against Xavier College Prep High School.

Mayor Grace Garner, a Palm Springs native and alumna of the high school, was the parade’s grand marshal, city spokeswoman Amy Blaisdell said. The parade also featured Palm Springs city council members and Palm Springs Unified School District board members.

The parade season will continue Nov. 5 with the 37th annual Greater Palm Springs Pride Parade, which is expected to start at 10 a.m. along Palm Canyon Drive from Tachevah to Amado Road, according to Blaisdell. The Palm Springs Pride Festival will run from Nov. 3-5.
