The Fourth of July on the island is one of my favorite days on the island (besides grad­u­a­tion & the Fair & soc­cer games & foot­ball games & bas­ket­ball games & Valen­tine’s Day & Sol­stice — both of ’em — and Cana­da Day.)

Weaving magic all over the island, folks make the island a magical place of togetherness for a day, including Gretchen (after the parade, last year)

You can get an idea of the stuff that’s gonna be hap­pen­ing by going to:

The San Juan Com­mu­ni­ty Events Calendar
Roche Har­bor’s website
The Port’s music
The Cham­ber of Commerce
The Vis­i­tors’ Bureau

  3. I came to the parade in 2004 and loved it then. I get to come to the island again this year, and your pic­ture col­lec­tion makes me glad I’ll be there instead of Belle­vue this year. Nice pho­tos. Did you take all of them?

  4. The pic­tures make it look like we have fun here on the Fourth. Which we do. Fun to see all our frinds and neighbors.
