Coldwater Creek pre event gathering
Far and wide the call went out, and they responded, they ALL responded to Northern Idaho’s only Sandpoint 4th of July Parade.
Biker groups coming together
To say the parade was well attended would be a huge understatement. In Sandpoint this is one of the must attend events of the summer, and there are many.
Ready for the starting gun
Even as they gathered the air was crackling with anticipation of the start of something special.
Let's light this Candle
Flags and Fireman
local groups, businesses, fire and police, young and old, townies and tourist they all lined the streets for blocks. For the entire 15 block parade route the sidewalks where packed with excited onlookers. I do not have the official count but I would estimate close to 100 entries participated in the festivities.
the weather and the turn out were awesome

Locals lined up for a couple car lengths to get in
The circus comes rolling into town and all the town folk show up. Two or Three times a year Sandpoint is temporary home to a small traveling Circus.
The crowd gathered
This one had a couple tigers, a lion, some trained pigeons, one clown, and a few talented high wire walkers, some great jugglers, and several food vendors mingling with the crowd.
One very talented clown
Yep, One clown
If you were one of the daring you could have your photo taken with a 20′ python (not shown here).
High wire
low wire
Needless to say fun was had by all young and old. The people of Sandpoint are always accommodating and even though there were no elephants we had a great time.
