The Parade of Lights has been around for 30 years, replacing the previous Pioneer Parade from the late 80's. The spirit of that old parade still lives on for the light parade. So does a pirate ship.
Participants focus and work their way through a tai chi exercise on Sunday as part of an event in City Plaza to honor the memory of late martial arts teacher Sifu Lenny Vavallette. Photo credit: James Groh
