The parade will start at the intersection of Baldwin Park Boulevard and Olive Street and head south toward Morgan Park, where the Baldwin Park City Council will present awards to the top 3 entries in each parade category, ranging from car clubs to floats.

The Southern California School Band & Orchestra Association will also judge participating middle school and high school bands, with the winners receiving cash prizes.
