Labor Day Solidarity Parade






















Marchers in this year’s Labor Day Parade learned just how hot it can get in Wilmington. Temperatures reached 105 degrees along the parade route causing many spectators to seek shelter in the shade. Some parade goers even watched from the comfort of their air conditioned cars. The event attracted unions from throughout Southern California and included marching bands, floats, classic cars and proud union members walking with their families. The parade route traveled along Avalon Blvd. through a working class neighborhood to Banning Park and culminated in a picnic and rally. The Labor Solidarity March is a fun filled annual event that gets little attention from the news media.
