Manteca’s traditional Independence Day celebration will feature parade, aerial fireworks, and breakfast.
The Manteca Rotary is bringing back the Fourth of July breakfast that the Manteca Noon Kiwanis hosted for years.
It takes place Tuesday, July 4, from 7 to 10 a.m. at Mt. Mike’s Pizza, Louise Avenue and North Main Street.
The $10 breakfast includes pancakes, ham, eggs, coffee, and orange juice.
Tickets will be sold at the door.
There is still time to enter the parade that has a June 29 deadline.
There is no entry fee as the Sunrise Kiwanis underwrite associated costs from their staging of the annual Manteca Pumpkin Fair. It is one of more than $40,000 in an average year in support the service club gives the community as the result of the Pumpkin Fair.
The parade starts at 10 a.m. It will go down Main Street from Golden West School. It then turns right to head west to Library Park where it will disperse.
The theme is “A Celebration Honoring Service in the Community”.
