The first Miracle Mile Patriotic Parade is planned for Monday, June 29 to honor the spirit of cooperation and patriotism in the Miracle Mile, a “Pocket Full of Miracles.” The parade will start at 12pm  at The Grove and travel east to west down Main Street to the Original Farmers Market for lemonade, cookies and fun to usher in the 4th of July holiday.
“We’re celebrating how community businesses, museums and the first responders can join together.  It’s an uplifting patriotic event at a venue that is beautiful, safe and fun, down a very “All American Main Street,” said Lyn Cohen,  Founding President, First-In Fire Foundation and President & Founder, Miracle Mile Civic Coalition.
