The Arlington Independence Day Parade returns this Saturday! The parade is the oldest and longest-running event in Arlington, and one of the largest Independence Day parades in Texas. Expect a festive event celebrating Independence Day, America250, and Arlington150.

Here's a look back at a preview for the 41st annual parade in 2006, when the award ceremony was held at Knapp Heritage Park.

A big thanks to Downtown Arlington Texas for partnering with us this year to celebrate Arlington's 150th anniversary! Our monthly blog series continues with a look back at early transit: "Before the Automobile: Arlington's Age of the Interurban."
