Slideshow: May Fête Parade honors resilience of Palo Alto youth
May 11, 2022
Palo Altans are praising the city’s May Fête Parade & Fair, which returned on Saturday to University Avenue after a two year absence caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the theme of “What emPowers You?” it celebrated the strength of the Palo Alto youth during the pandemic and the sustainability of the Earth. Local community organizations of Palo Alto marched through downtown and set up booths in the fair. Among these groups were the Palo Alto school bands, first-responders, and various other clubs. See pictures of the event in the slideshow above.
