Loyola Marymount University is once again a proud sponsor of the LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce Fourth of July Parade, a beloved community tradition that brings together neighbors, families, and local organizations in a festive celebration of American independence and Los Angeles pride.
This year’s parade, the 25th annual one, celebrates the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States by honoring the many dreams, stories, and contributions that have shaped our nation over the past two and a half centuries.
LMU’s float, themed “Brighten Your Summer,” will spotlight the many free events the university offers to the public throughout the summer. These include Shakespeare on the Bluff, Summer Movie Nights, and Yoga on the Bluff classes, all designed to engage, entertain, and educate the broader community.
Joining the LMU float in the parade will be members of the LMU women’s and men’s basketball teams, and the LMU cheer squad.
The parade kicks off at 11 a.m. on the corner of Manchester Avenue and Loyola Boulevard, and travels north, concluding at 80th Street and Loyola Boulevard. Attendees can look forward to a showcase of marching bands, local businesses, and community groups that reflect the spirit and character of Westchester and Playa del Rey.
