CABA Dotteversity parade draws big crowds to Central Avenue

by Brian Turrel

The Central Avenue Betterment Association sponsored the annual Dotteversity Central Avenue Parade, running from 19th Street and Park Drive down to 11th Street and Central, ending at Bethany Park.

The weather was sunny and warm, with a few light clouds and a cooling breeze, and spectators lined Central Avenue all along the route, especially deep near the reviewing stand at the route’s end.

After the parade, crowds spilled into the park to listen to performances from the marching bands of each USD 500 school and to eat at one of the many food vendors set up there.
