LA Prepares for Great Parade

Los Angeles is abuzz with the energy of Lag B’Omer as preparations are well under way for this year’s “Great Parade” that will take place at “770 West” on Pico Boulevard, located in the heart of Jewish Los Angeles.

In this [Photoshopped] image, Lag B’Omer Community Unity event organizers are “marching together” in the spirit of the upcoming parade. This year’s event promises to be the most exciting yet, with thousands of participants from communities, schools and synagogues throughout Southern California scheduled to participate. Pico Boulevard will be closed for the occasion, which will include a grand parade procession with innovative floats and marching bands, musical entertainment and rides for young and old.
