May 20, 2023 (La Mesa) – You’re invited to join the City of La Mesa in saluting “Old Glory” during the city’s annual Flag Day Parade. The parade begins at 10 a.m. at the intersection of Memorial Drive, University Ave. and La Mesa Blvd., then heads west through the La Mesa village to Acacia Ave. The Grossmont High School Royal Blue Regiment and the Navy Junior ROTC Color Guard will lead the parade.
This year’s Grand Marshal will be Carol Lockwood, chosen based on 50 years of service as an educator in the Grossmont Union High School District and her involvement in many city projects, committees and programs.
The La Mesa Community Relations and Veterans Commission will provide free ice cream bars at “The Lookout” at Legacy Park on the corner of La Mesa Blvd., 4th St., and Allison Ave., while supplies last.
Limited parking is available at the Civic Center parking lot at Date Street across from the La Mesa Police station. The city encourages you to walk or take public transit.
