For over three decades, 24th Place residents Dave and Mary Garrett, the Beals and Noel Castiel have rallied their neighbors for a Fourth of July parade (pandemic years excluded). Neighbors decorate their pets, cars and bikes and parade up and down what may be the steepest hills in Hermosa Beach. The parade follows the Garretts’ white Ford pick-up, that’s as old as the parade itself, along no certain route. But eventually the parade ends up back at the Garrett 24th Place home at the bottom of the hill. ER

Neighbors lean over their balconies to cheer on the parade.
