Thousands of Moreno Valley residents came together to celebrate the Fourth of July at the City's parade and Family FunFest.
Crowds lined Frederick Street to cheer on a variety of musical ensembles, community groups, floats, Mayor Yxstian Gutierrez, members of the City Council and other local dignitaries as they made their way down the parade route.
Live bands So Rad, Latin Fusion, and MVP provided the entertainment at Family FunFest while attendees browsed the vendor and food offerings.
Bounce houses and a petting zoo in the KidZone kept children busy until the Fireworks Spectacular lit up the sky with an impressive fireworks display. Radio Station KOLA 99.9 played patriotic music synched to the fireworks show.
The City's Fourth of July events were generously sponsored by Skechers, Waste Management, Les Schwab Tire Center, Duke Realty and The Sares-Regis Group.
