Festival of Balloons Parade Part II (Photos)

The annual South Pasadena Fourth of July parade rolled down Mission Monday to the delight of thousands.

As spectators sought refuge in shady areas along the route, they were treated to a spectacular parade—the 29th annual Festival of Balloons.

This year's grand marshals were coaches P.J. Hernandez (who was recently named San Gabriel Valley track coach of the year) and Patrick McGrail (cross-country coach who could not attend due to a prior commitment).

Enjoy the photos and check back later for photos from the fireworks show.
